sell to me la! haha

anyway see you folks at PS mac at sat 1130 :)
Haha! You want ah? But you'll have to change the differentials and add the CVD drive shafts. If chius wants I can sell you the whole car with the carbon fibre chassis plates included. Currently the car is using the fibre reinforced plastic bathtub chassis.

Hmmm, the CVD (constant velocity drive) shafts are the 4 shafts that link the tyres to the differentials. The TA04 ish belt drive de :D

Pics of my TA04 before I transferred some parts over to my TA05

TA04 suspension settings can be set to your driving style ones :s34:
Think the car alone with everything in cost me at least $450 :eek:
If blankies want then I ish sell to chius for $220. That's the absolute lowest I can go le :sad:

The TA04 kit includes:
Unpainted Protoform Ferrari Enzo body
Front racing body mount
Tamiya sealed bearings at the 4 hubs (8 pieces)
Full ball bearings (the 8 Tamiya sealed bearings + 4 bearings at the differentials)
Upper carbon fibre chassis plate
Lower carbon fibre chassis plate (for a stiffer ride)
Lower fibre reinforced plastic bathtub chassis (for a more flexible and forgiving ride)
Silver surface graphite battery holders (lighter and more bling, haha)
Front and rear carbon fibre shock towers (lighter and stiffer)
Center one-way belt pulley
Aramid (Kevlar) front and rear belts (less drivetrain resistance)
Lightweight differential outdrives (lower rotating mass = faster acceleration)
Racing front hubs
Hard rear toe-in uprights
85-90% of chassis outfitted with titanium screws
Turnbuckles on all the suspension arms (allows adjustment of suspension camber and steering toe-in/toe-out)
Aluminum motor mount (doubles up as heatsink)
Blue anodized spur gear holder
540 silver can motor

But I must remind that you'll probably need to replace the differential's metal plates and also add on the CVD drive shafts. :crazy:
