salut,

Here's a new tjet resin kit, from Greg.

First, I tuned a jl chassis, and mounted RRR modified wheels. Why modified ? because the car is very narrow, so I have to modify the width of the wheels to make a good fit. I modified axles too.

the wheels are not accurate for this model, but it's the only I have. It stills quite classical.


The wheelbase is medium, so the guide is very low in slot. With silicone tuffone tires, the car is running quite well.

The more tjet chassis I tune, the more I think the brass pan I bought are quite useless, causing loss of brake and inertia in curves. Without brasspan, the car is more sensitive, but faster in curves and have better brake.

I have to make lap timing to compare, but it's my feeling.

I have to change the tires, or sand it.


To be continued...

the body is good for "scaleracing", but I think it should be eficient in "hardcore" racing too.

I don't know if medium wheelbase is used in modified tjet racing classes, but if it is the case, I think this small , low and light body should be a good candidate for a "fray-like" racer.

I hope I'll continue the building tonight.
