TRF201X Spares advice

[wildwillydriver]

Hi,
i'm the happy owner of a new TRF201x that i'm starting to build and that i'll use to race here in Italy, can someone give an advice on what spares are a "must have" to start racing the car?
Hope i don't have to buy another one to be safe.....?
Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Your Dyna Storm is crying!


Enjoy the new car, as you made it to the nationals with your DS/DL you are sure to do very well with the 201.


Spur and idler gear seem to be the only thing iffy. Otherwise - just lots of tire options!

Replace the ball studs used on the uprights, caster blocks and steering arms. Use hard hex ones (#53969).
On caster blocks I use screw and ball nut, just like on the rear hubs.

Suspension arms, towers, uprights, caster blocks, extra screws, spacers etc are always good to have.

Yeah you are right , my DS/DL is near the retire even if i think i'll finish this year races with it and just build the TRF for the next season.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi,
i'm near the end of my 201X build and i ask your expert adivice on what kind of shocks oil ratio (F&R) and springs is best to start with, considering that i only race on slippery low traction tracks (hard and dusty).
This just to have a good start point to work on from who already know and race the car.

On my dyna i've 50 back and 25-30 front oils, but it's a totally different car....

Thanks in advance for any help.

I race on a very low traction track and have 25 front and 30 rear oil. As for the springs i have the Front damper Spring set and used the softest and the rear springs are kit ones. I found out that the 1 degree aluminium rear hubs together with the 3 degrees caster blocks gives loads more grip!
