Will post a full set up on here tomorrow, i'm off to bed ;0)
Didn't look bad out the box, it looks like it has potential to work on normal tracks ok as well as high grip.

Perhaps as Team Manager you could get Team C to sort something before the BRCA events start

I had one big crash on the straight when I forgot to brake and no bits broke, Happy day's. The one thing I noticed was how long the car is compared to other cars . I measured the it against a 210 with an 8mm longer chassis and the TM2 was longer.

3 of us at Mansfield have them, so Wed night will be TM2 night

Could we not get some low profile serrated wheel nuts and trim down the axal?

Not 100% sure, but there's not much differance in width to the T02c and that ok at BRCA events

Yes that is another way to get it to fit in box

Hi of course I can ask the question but as with other makes that are available there are some minor tweaks that have to be carried out sometimes to get things exactly right. We'll have a look at it and find a solution

Has anyone else got a noisy drive train feels free and smooth but under acceleration it makes quite a noise. Any ideas?

Ours is 43/57 with aluminum front hubs, castle block and bottom plate upgrades. No other extra weight. Hope that helps

Mine was very noisy and the reason for this and the spur letting go was a bearing seized in the motor so all is well and ready for tomorrow

Mines very quiet...... sitting here on the table

Can't wait for tomorrow at 'ton.

I felt the drive train was smooth but quite tight so I've replaced the rubber sealed 10x15x4 bearings for the Diff and Slipper assemblies with metal sealed... feels a bit looser, Maybe a bad move...thoughts?

Also, were anyone elses front axles really sloppy? - ie sliding in and out by at least a mil.... gonna try and find some shims to take out the play.

BTW Alec were'nt you going to post your setup? Pretty please!

Should be fun tomorrow with 6 TM2s in action! Our front axles are the same Jez. Shims might be the way to go.

I believe Alecs set up was standard with 40 front and 20 rear shock oils. I'm sure Alec will comment.
