TAMIYA TOP FORCE FULL CARBON

Post by Jerzi »

Here is an project that is nice tp work on.
I wanted this car to have as many carbon bits/parts as i can made.
Even undercowl and the wing will be out of carbon.
But this is the stage where iam in now.
Any question please ask.

The electronics that i choosen to this car is
Radio m11
Speedo hw extreme stock
Motor lrp x12 17.5
Battery gens ace shorty 4200mah
Servo sanwa sdx801

I have an question.
If i put the speedo in stock (0 timing and no turbopunch what ever) so what pinion do you prefer.
Top force can handle 16-21 pinion so is it then the largest of them??

Dude, you must work in a carbon fiber factory. You work with that stuff like a child works with colored construction paper! 8)

I almost everyday work with carbon.
It is really nice item to work with.
Sad that the rules said that the body must be out of plastic. Otherwise i had done the body out of carbon too.
Today it must be ready. I have to trye also the car before weekend.

Now the car is 95% ready...
Today i fitted the carbon/kevlar wing.
I did the undercowl of carbon.
Tomorrow I have to put the speedo and reciver in the car.
The transmission is friction free. So easly it rolls.

New tires have to be glued.
I trye to car with 17.5 motor and the biggest pinion 21 and there was some punch and timing in the speedo but the speed was very poor.

Hi jerzi. Sorry I read your thread before but I didn't see you wanted gearing help. With 17.5 you'd need to run the speed tuned gears and even then you'd need to run a 27-29 pinion. A 10.5 would be easier to gear correctly with the standard spur I'd start at 19t or 20t pinion if you're racing and check temps after a few minutes and see how it's going
