I have a Top force Rere on the way and need some inspiration. I will be intially installing aluminum steering bellcranks,aluminum front hub carriers and motor mount along with a steel pinion and Tamiya 50529 gears with a 13.5T motor. I do intend to run it, likely initially on indoor carpet offroad.

Here is my Top Force, and if you look at our CAT named Schumacher btw you can tell that she dont like Tamiya

My racer top force

Hello friends,

I recently purchased a TopFroce 2017 to re-live my previous life as a happy-go-lucky, skim-on-meals-to-save-for-that-trinity-motor, they-don't-know-what-it-means-to-dump-before-4mins, Boy-Racer!

Needless to say, I scoured the interweb for go-fast (or at least, less breakable) goodies to make Meine Top Force the Toppest of Forces.
Below is a list of goodies I installed; they fitted together perfectly and I DO have the Alpha-Predator at our local vintage bashing group.

From RCJaz:
-alloy TL01 C-hubs
-alloy Ta01 Front Uprights
-alloy 12mm Drive hexes
-alloy Ta01 front gearbox cover
-alloy Ta01 rear gearbox cover
-alloy rear upright zero degrees (i later removed it and installed Tamiya M05RA rear uprights cos I wanted the extra ground clearance and the 2 degree toe-in)
-alloy 1-piece motor mount

From RCMart:
-Yeah Racing Full carbon kit (chassis, mecha deck, towers)
-3Racing Titanium turnbuckles all round (except the centre drag link between the Steering bellcranks... it was pointless to have a turnbuckle at that position)
-GMade 93mm emulsion shocks all round (in retrospec, the front could have been 85mm, but I do bash at a super rutted track...)

I used most of the stock self tapping screws because I found that they cracked tamiya plastic the least. Machine screws seem to crack tamiya plastics really easily
The few machine screws that were used in the kit, i swapped them out for allen head machine screws. So far, everything has held up very well.

Electronics:
-Hobbywing Just Stock ESC
-LRP X12 13.5T brushless motor (using the 21T pinion)
-Battery holders are old Kawada items I rummaged from my hoard.
-GoTeck BL1511SG (12KG at 0.074sec/60degrees, sold at usd25, why not?)
-Hitec Axon2 Rx
-Shorty lipo packs

I painted this scheme based on a touring car paintjob i did awhile back. Also, I really liked the TF Evo zigzags.
Also, my rear ball diff stripped (oh surprise...) at the splines, so I dremelled a M05 gear diff case to fit and used that instead.
Enjoy!
