This is the 1st of project "MachineCheck", And I will tell details of the Mochi's TA05. 
 

This machine painted to Speeeding Team color(2007).

This body is handed down from other team members.

Mochi said that not cutting the support of the body prevents the damage of the body when crashing. 

A body removed....

 The wiring of this machine is disorderly.

This machine's mecha is below, 

Servo      TAMIYA TSU-01

Receiver  TAMIYA TRU-01

Amp        keyence EXTRAIGHT

　※A green little box is  transponder.

This servo and receiver are too big to install these to chassis beautiful.

I think it is better to change a servo and receiver to more small new one. 

The mochi's GTtuned is very bad condition...Less rotational speed than other. Because it do not have maintenance long time!

Oh,I found a trouble ! wire has damaged!!  

Maybe,This wire seems to have touched the driving belt when wiring is more disorderly. It is better to change too. 

Look at this picture.

A receiver on a servo..and transponder is hanging to those..

It looks like center of gravity is high. 

Connectors of motor is no remodeling.

Drive train   Front:Oneway   Center:Normal  Rear:Ball Diff

Surprisingly, Front-oneway was installed for the reasons there were a lot of things that a central nut of Ball diff loosens.

The remodeling part of this machine is very few.

Next,Look at a suspension.

Installed TAMIYA CVA mini damper.

I discovered the interesting one.
A suspension is set up and down and inversely. 
  Because,It becomes difficult for oil to leak. Mochi said. 

The inverted suspension is good for running.
Decreasing weight under the spring becomes the reason for the performance gain.However, he seems to have chosen maintenance free from the performance.

He said that the oil leak would decrease.Wanna try?
 

By the way, the viscosity of the suspension oil and spring rate are as follows.
Oil Front:Rear #400(TAMIYA Silicon oil)  Spring Front:Midium Rear:Soft

SuspensionBlocks are as follow.
   Front:1D & 1A  Rear:1A & 1D
   And set Offset +2 wheels..It's very wide and looks like Cool.
But,I think it is too wide to run fast.

 This machine do not have stabilizer..I asked him "Why do not add stabilizer to your machine?" before.
Therefore,He said that "I don't know".
