It took me 7 hours last night building the kit and its not even 70% done.. tonight I'll get the motor set and will run it as is this saturday.. Probably next week's task is the gear ratio.. I never thought building a kit is so time consuming but its worth every minute.

you mean you havent tried building one before? i thought thats your second kit.. wait till you till get your hands on one of those highend kits.. you might need to apply for a few days leave if you wanna get it done asap lol

building a kit is always worth it bro
nice to know your havving fun.. goodluck!

Yes, this is my first kit build because my first kit was an RTR. I think, those high end kits are just waiting for me around the corner. Hehe, I'm still resisting to open RCmart again or else I'll be left with 2 unfinished kits in my living room

thank you sir bong!

Finally, got the ta05 up and running. However, Im running on silver cans since the last piece of Sport tuned was already bought from hobbies zone. I got myself a new motor from RC mart and the Bravo ESC, it shoud be here in a few days. I got a new radio as well, its the KOPRO EX5 UR, I think its a good package since it has 2 recievers already. I'll sell my old 2.4 for a really cheap price in a few days.

I'll bring the tourer this saturday just for tuning but I'll join the mayhem next week if erverything is all set.

One more thing, I can not fit my lipo in the TA05 since the wires from the lipo is coming from the side. Any ideas on this???

wow! congratulations!

too bad you weren't able to get a sport tuned motor..
let's ask vinesh if he still has any.. Vin?

what type of Li-Po batts do you use?
wired or banana plug type?

this should not be much of a problem as there is plenty of space for the batts..

try flipping and rotating the batteries to get the correct place..

Hi lance,

Thanks.. That's ok since I ordered the Yeah Racing Hackamoto brushed motor with the bravo esc. I thought I may try Yeah racing's brushed motors since thier brushless performed flawless on my drift car. I have the wired lipo's, I can fit them but not leveled because the wires are protruding on the side. Im not sure if the lipos are ok with that or it should be leveled like what the manual said
