TAMIYA TOP FORCE FULL CARBON

[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!

Nice work with the carbon fiber!

[Jerzi]

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.

More progress.
I took the shocks out of my dynastorm.
Put neonyellow color to the body.
i didnt have time for the carbon undercowl.
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.
Will trye 10.5 tomorrow.
Lots to do before weekends race...

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
