Ralphee's TRF211XM

[ralphee]

Many thanks for Kentech for the NIB kit at a great price, had to have this car.

So here we are thus far, im still awaiting a few parts to arrive, but shes almost ready now for a shake down on carpet this Friday.
Only additions option wise so far are the TRF 0 Degree nose weight, and an under Lipo 55g weight, so shes pretty OOB at present.
Ive gone 450 oil front and 400 rear, kit springs, but i can swap out to harder Yatabe's once i know where the car is.

Still need to add.
Alloy wing mounts and Exotek buttons.
Alloy axle spacers and crush tubes (plastic bugs me in these areas)
Yokomo Hex conversion

Ill be leaving the battery wires longer so i can swap out between saddle and shorty on the night.

Just a tip, i fitted Yokomo ball cups and ballstuds, these make the left rear inner ballcup foul the motor cover, so i shimmed my shock tower with 1mm spacers, and that did the trick, but i remember doing something similar on my XMW.

So there we are, lets see how she goes Friday!

Nice clean build. My 211 kit is still in box awaiting to be built. I'll stay tuned to this thread. Can you post a pic with the Tamiya body mounted? The paint on it looks great.

Very nice indeed Lee !
Best of luck Friday mate. Will be interested to hear how it goes
I'm getting some track time in tonight trying out some new setups, so will let you know how it all goes.

Thanks Jason, look forward to hearing your findings! Main thing that concerns me right now, is front droop, theres a lot of it! Do i go out as is, or take a bit out now? I can see some massive roll ahead is all!

Lee I would add about 3 limiters in the front and 2 in the rear and then adjust the lower end of the shock for length if need be.. I had to do that for mine since I thought that there was way too much droop for High Bit surfaces.... try it out and let us know how it works out for you
