No they havent... i read some where here in the bb that one of the moderaters increased the number of post per page to free up room... but that's what i thought at first too... but he said no pagees or post were deleted

What happend to your O2? Yeah i guess your right about the post's i noticed it went from 5 to 4 pages so i thought they had been removed.

I forgot i was missing the real ball diffs, the rear dog bones, my speed tuned gears were outta wack... so i presumed her unfixable for the mean time... there goes another year without racing...

What did you missplace them or were they wore out and you junked them and forgot? Are you even going to bother rebuilding her? Why don't you race your O3's

My 02 was primarly "crap-go" car... i used her for all kinds of stuff... as for the parts that's i mentioned some were scattered and/or need rebuilding or in need of being replaced... my 03s are strictly for show except for 1 which i do bash around with... lately i been street racing my Kyosho TF-4 and i recently got the HPI RS4 Sport 2... i need to tweek it

Sorry it took so long to reply - I've been pretty busy. The Blazing Star arms are part # 0005378. That includes the arms and the camber links, plus some miscellaneous parts. The dogbones are part # 9805370. You'll need 2 of each. You'll also need an assortment of screws to assemble the arms, and a set of turnbuckles for the steering.

I just measured the new and old parts. It looks like the Blazing Star parts are about 1 1/4" wider, so it should be about 2 1/2" wider, total. For an even wider stance, I use Stampede front wheels. Their offset helps even more. To make them bolt on without boring them out, I use the Tamiya TG10 rear wheel axles. Their extra length extends through the thicker wheels.

Timba thanks for the info. Tao3 drive hard sorry to hear about your O2 that really bite 's .
I just installed some GPM front universal on my O2 and the tamiya high torque servo saver man this totaly fixed my steering problem my O2 really hooks up now it's like a whole different car

Oh lucky you... ya i'm really bummed out bout my 02... hey where else can you find GPM parts?

The only place that i could find that sell's GPM parts for tamiya vehicles was hobby ect. I got lucky and bought a new set of tao3 universals on ebay for $15 they fit on the front of my O2 perfectly.

Ya that's the place i look at too... another place is GM Racing i think... they have all the aluminum you want but i dont see any prices or an ordering form... it's in germany... go fig

How could i speed up my TA02? right now it has 4 oil shocks, rooster ESC, 11t Double turn engine, and original gear set running 2WD right now. i had a few questions

Would i notice speed difference with a 2400/3000 battery instead of my 1500's.

If i bought a cyclone ESC, would that help my speed?

Where can i get a gear set for my car to improve the speed?

and is there anyway to make my chassis lighter?

thx for the help, ill have more questions no doubt

oh i read bout those FRP chassis also, and would any1 have a spare 1 for sale, used or new, cause the way ppl mae it sound is they improve speed greatly and im trying to get this thing as fast as possible

Tower hobbies has it for 46 bones... www.towerhobbies.com

this thread has forced me to decide not to sell my TA-02, and to totally hop it up and race it ^_^ im gona get a cyclone ESC, D4 copper 9T3 engine, the chassis set from towerhobbies, new color shocks, new color rims, and General Silicone wires can u say neon color sexyness also gonna get alot of 3x10 aluminum color screws/lugbolts. this is gonna b fun! (but expensive )

Anybody know if that FRP chassis for the TA02 cars at Tower Hobbies will fit my Blazing Star okay? I was told on another message board that the chassis is too short to use on my Blazing Star. Can anyone confirm this?

any1 interested in buying a TA-02? if so tell me if u jus want rolling chassis, or want everything on it and i can supply information. I jus can resist a nitro truck

Hey Casey... which one is it? you gonna hop-up that baby or you gonna sell her off like a puppy in need of potty trainin?

Hey guys,i'm a ta03 man myself but you guys have brought the urge for me to buy a ta02! I think i'll get the racing special kit....what do you guys think?Looks like a hot deal to me!You guys should start a website with info and pics on the ta02...i think its a great chassis!

Ya man... you'd be a proud owner if you get the 02... the car is very nimble and sweet

well when i bought it its the Racing model. TA-02R kartrun, interested in my TA-02R? I can either sell the rolling chassis or sell the whole package (except my radio control) and i have 3 bodies, 2 were for bolinks touring car. i have pictures oh and drive hard, if i cant sell it, im going to hop it up. all it needs is the FRP chassis kit or the single graphite chassis they sell. oh well tell me if either of u are interested

hell ya guys! found a site that carries TONS of hop ups for the TA-02 my money is gonna be gone very very soon need.. more.. money.. fast!!

The O2 is old but a good car i was racing against my brother's tc3 we both run 27 turn stock motors and close gear ratio's we wanted the cars as even as we could get them.I out ran him bad my o2 was flying thru the corners he could only catch me in the straits but as soon as we hit he corners i was gone we even worked on his tc3 together to get it to handle better because it get's boreing when there is just 2 of you and one is laping the other one . I was suprised i thought i was going to have to block him and wreck him just to keep up but the O2 really held it's own very well. Now for any tc3 owners i am in no way saying that the tc3 is junk or anything like that so don't go getting all pissed off at me

Honest i not lie

Yup its true im his brother and his car is a very good car i guess i just really suck i have tried a 4tec no luck i have tried a tl01 no luck and now a tc3 no luck yet to be competitive. not only does his car handle good it is a fast one. I dont study up on setups much and he does makes a big difference.

GO BILLY!!!!!
