A lot of the Team mods came standard, like the modified alloy motor mount that allowed smaller pinions and better heat dissipation. Front caster blocks were originaly MMS, but again Tamiya's came out after. There was a carbon LWB chassis version as well used with a longer RW carbon propshaft, but havent seen one of those in a while and werent that popular at the time.
I raced my Team copy in our Vintage series a couple of years back and still a very capable car on smaller tracks with a 8.5 or 10.5.
Even back then you could buid a 95% Team replica as you could get or make almost all of the parts required.
Great car, ill never get rid of my two versions  |
Sounds really interesting. Do you still have that magazine issue where the mod was explained more in detail?
