TOPIC:

So, now i think it started. That's my third car in my "collection" and should also be driven and not only standing around. First i thought about using my carbon df01 to use it also as a ta01 touring car but i've auctioned a very good hopped up Tamiya #58262 Raybrig NSX 2000 TA-05 IFS with an LRP 17T and many parts for about 130 €.

Here are some pics of the auction:








Currently i'm waiting for the car. Plans about it for first to inspect which parts exactly in there and which parts i could buy for it. For eg. it's not a frp chassis yet. Also i want to have a body of a group c or prototype on this car but they're to low. We'll see. This gonna got a very fast car

Looks awesome. Cool shell too.
Wheelbase of most of the Group Cs is not gonna match though, only the shorter street car racers.

Yeah, i know. The Group C and LMPs are all based on Formula 1 Chassis, as on 1:1. Group C was so cool but sadly killed by FIA to get more money with F1 circuit.
Maybe the Super GT Honda is flat enough. Carson has an ugly Group C shell for ta05 and others. Maybe there is a cool shell from another manufacturer.

nice car, I like the NSX.

Ah, package is on the way! Tomorrow is xmas (the weather seems like that).

Package opened:


The car is in a very good condition!


I've disassambled it completely now. I think, the owner used WD40 to clean the gears... They're in good condition, the coutner gear is "ok" but i have to change this 'cause of my motor for this car.
The 17T LRP will go into the MR. Car was very dusty but everything is nice. Many alloy parts, body is damped to the chassis, body was niced builed and has nearly no scratch! This was not a bargain, it was a bankrob

That's no water, that's sparkling mineral water
I know that water from france too good 'cause i was there many times and i also didn't drink water there - and also no beer
But the wine from south of france is my very fav!


I'm wondering about gear setup. Is a bit difficulty. You can also change the size of the diff gear and there is no idle gear 'cause of the belt system and middlemotor. I have a bad used 70t main gear and a 20 & 21 aloy pinion gear but for my 12T i need a higher ratio. I've found out that there are only exist an 105T main gear and a bigger toothed diff gear. Well, need a calc-table for this...

After reading some Infos, i know much more about ta05 gear setting. But one weird fact is still there. I have some aloy wheel adaptors left from my ta01 but they have 6mm and the ta05 has 5mm plastic. Is it really bad to use them? Maybe for first ride not?

Oh man this motor mount is making me crazy! That screw is so near to the main gear at 16T Pinion. I don't have 17-19T now and 20 is to much for the 12Turns LRP
