only to find that they had a limited choice of freqs to pick from.  Not
only that, but what they had were already in use at our field.  (Thank
goodness for the increase in frequencies we can use!)  The few RC shops
still in business seem to have grown to a point where they do stock a
larger number of radios but they still can't compete with the impressive
stock I saw in the Tower warehouse (pant pant pant, drooooooollllll)

Write your reply.

assistant: Stuck in the diff? Like in between the teeth or what? Thats odd...very
odd...i've never heard of a bushing cracking and breaking... Look at it this
way...if you dont try to get it out and just leave it in...something will get
screwed up. But if you try to remove it one of two things can happen: you can
get it out without problems or you can screw it up. I like those odds though.
If this piece of metal is stuck in the gear teeth then just use a very small
screw driver to pry it out. The force exerted by the motor is most likely
more than you can exert on the gear...so dont worry about it.

assistant: Sounds like you have all the bases covered. But you could get a new
ESC...something like the top of the line Novak Hammer Pro or Tekin G-12. And
play around with the size of the pinion gear. Also many aftermarket graphite
or fiberglass chassis parts are available for that chassis which will make it
lighter and thus faster (in theory). And you could also try a 7 cell pack...

Write your reply.

assistant: Get the speed gears that are available from Tamiya. That'll lower your gear
ratio. You'll be limited to the 69T spur if you have a 21T pinion, but you
can get up to 25 teeth from Tamiya. That way you can go to the 66T spur.
Bear in mind that you'll have more top speed, but less acceleration and less
run time.
BTW: Stock spur is 74T (at least in my Supra sedan.)

assistant: I think you don't have a choice about getting the piece of metal out of
   the gear.  Try to pry it out with an X-Acto knife.  If this piece of
   junk is stuck in the gear, chances are the gear is scrap anyway.
      That gear shouldn't cost you much more than $4 to replace.

assistant: Hello, Steve,
Last summer, I helped a student learn to fly with his Professor.
- Sounds like what Newt Gingrich's teacher did!
It's a very nice plane, but a little fast for the beginner. I
strongly recommend using a buddy box if you're learning to fly
with it.
The student I was working with had learned to take off and land. We
were working on the landing pattern (sans buddy box), when he when
he rolled the plane a little too far and pulled up the elevator.
Very quickly, the plane was deposited in a tree. With a slower plane,
I _might_ have been able to snatch the transmitter, and save it. Or,
the student would have been less likely to over-roll a plane with a
flatter airfoil.
I don't want to overly alarm you about the Professor. I just recommend
a buddy box if you're going to learn to fly with this model. My student
liked his enough to immediately buy another, to replace the damaged
parts on his old one.
Bye now,
Bruce

assistant: Lucky for you I so happen to own a Tamiya 4WD sedan that uses the same
TA02 chassis. How do you find the truck? Have you ever raced it in a
dirt track? If so how was the performance compared to the buggys and
stadium trucks racing?
Here are some suggestions to go faster:
CHASSIS
clean & lubricate bearings, gears, add in a HPI one-way bearing,
universal joint shafts, use replace existing parts with lighter ones
made out of aluminum/titanium/carbon fibre, use the right shock setup
depending on running surface, a variety of pinion & spur gears, good
tires for the surface you plan to run.
ELECTRONICS
use top of the line esc from novak/tekin/m-tronics, a kinwald 11-13 turn
motor (a bit psycho but you asked for more speed),
deans/litespeed/sermos connectors, 12 guage wire used everywhere, matched
batteries.
This will make your car go faster guarenteed but it should empty your
pockets aswell.
