269 - Tamiya BBX: Bumpstops

Some of the first guys around the world that have driven the new Tamiya BBX have noticed that the rear drive shafts are prone to pop out from the outdrives when the rear dampers are full compressed (because of landings for example).

Recently I've realized that the 41st step of the manual underlines that to avoid this issues could be necessary to play with 0,5 mm spacers.

Before starting my build I've surfed the Web looking for some useful tricks and Tamiya USA suggests, to avoid the shafts to slip out, to use some rubber o-rings as shocks bumbstops, this is the way I've choosen to prevent troubles and it's shown by today's pics.

268 - Tamiya BBX: Shocks Towers? Solved!

The spares ordered last week after my mistake in widening the screw holes are arrived so I have been able to replace the ruined shocks towers with a pair of new ones, great!

267 - Tamiya BBX: Trailing Arms

Sunday of build today! A strange day of build to be sincere... frenetic... because of much things to do and only little of time to spend on the workbench but all seems to went fine.

Finally today I assembled the rear trailing arms, a suspensions scheme that I love and the main reason why I decided to buy this new Tamiya car.

Trailing arms are the reason why I bought my Brat and my Wild One and why I love so much driving my Wild One and I guess it will be the same with the BBX.
