Need specs on TA05 hubs

Post by Coelacanth »

Here's a question for the Tamiya gurus. I would love to know some exact dimensions of the C-hubs from a TA05. The attached diagram is aftermarket, but shows the measurements I need to know; measuring a stock hub would be fine. Needless to say, if this hub works for me, it's not going on a TA05. 8)

A = Hub width @ bottom
B = Hub height
C = Distance between opposite 'arms'
D = I believe the thread is 3mm, can someone confirm?

I would greatly appreciate the assistance, thanks in advance.

if this is for project cyanide: why not get the team suzuki parts for the yokomo YR-4: I think those will fit your optima knuckles no prob. (I'll have a quick look to doublecheck)

Indeed it is! Sure, if you could look, that would be appreciated. These particular hubs in the attached pic, assuming the sizes are close, would work. All I'd need to do is use a kingpin/ball-end combo for the top pin, instead of the 2 being separate, as is the case with the stock Optima hub carriers.
