Finally Got Paint for My VW Golf


I also got 2 PS54 Cobalt Greens earlier which I didn't mentioned before....

This time is a PS15 Metallic Red...I love this colour,it's one of my favorite colours...
I'm thinking of replicating Pirelli's version of Golf V with metallic red in colour.....

First Breakage




Diff Outdrive is broken.... It was happened while I touch the wall slightly while clipping max point on the clipping point ..... I have ever never broken any part ....so this is my first time ...
Got a 3Racing solid diff from my LHS instead of buying same plastic diff outdrives...but don't worry 3Racing one is just temporarily fitted I'll get the tamiya direct couplings soon.....(They weren't in stock in my LHS)

Falken Azenis RT615 Mounted on


Mounted on HPI Rays GramLights 57S-Pro 0mm offset

Silvercan Powered TA05 Build Up







Front Tightened ball diff
Rear Custom locked ball diff
Front and rear carbon reinforced damper stays
TRF shocks with 400 oil in front and 300 oil in rear with stock silver springs(rates between tamiya yellow and blue).
An old blue aramid belt on the rear
Electronics from TT01D with an old Mabuchi Silvercan from one of my buggies.....

That's it .... Tests showed that TA05 is a great chassis out of the box whether it's underpowered or without a long setup session...Drifts much faster than my TZ powered TT01 and there is no need for an expensive motor I think for now.....This chassis will be my new practice car and will test new tires(HPI T-Drift Replicas)new electronics or maybe a Brushless System ....

Information Book for TB03 and TA05


I call it encyclopedia as it doesn't look like a book.It's writen in Japanese but the pictures and graphics,charts etc. explains all that you don't need to understand what is writen....

It's mostly about TA05 & TA05IFS...

I'm back...

I haven't been able to connect to Internet for over 2 weeks but now I'm back...Since this time I assembled my old TA05 with the retirement of my TT01D ...
