Tamiya TA05 Race Test #1
I am currently working on fine tuning the Tamiya TA05 chassis to prepare for racing in the 17.5 class at the www.rctrack.com The Track in Gaithersburg MD.
Currently the following are the specs for the car
- LRP SXX TC Speed Control, Power Profile 8
- Speed Passion 17.5 Brushless Motor
- 48p 78/38 Spur and Pinion
- Optional Tamiya drive belts
- Integy drive shafts
- HPI tires (Pro Compound)
- Ferrari F430 Body
- Spektrum RX/TX
- Trakpower 4900 mah 25C lipo
- TRF shocks and TC5 17lbs springs
The car so far handles really well on asphalt track in gaithursburg md, my fastest laptime on the track is 16.5 seconds. The average for most drivers seems to be around 17-20 seconds, I intend to further tune the car and post results if I am able to further reduce lap times
