TA05 Countersteer Practice

More countersteering practice with my TA05. With my current setup moderate countersteer can be applied without changing direction. I left the body off so viewers could get a better look at the front wheels.

did you only change the two pulleys to 18 center and 32 rear? what's the gear ratio of your ta 05?

[doriftokingu]

@monsterGAUZ Yeah, in this video I'm using an 18/32 pulley combo. Gear ratio is 5.91 (23t motor).

Looks good man. What pulleys?

[doriftokingu]

Thanks.

The pulleys are: 18t center (Tamiya #53989) and 32t rear (Tamiya #50877).

I added a link to the info box where you can see pictures of the setup.

Nice setup man.

This is similar to the track I've been down.

I found as you gear up the rear, you can hold more counter angle, but it get's more unstable when switching.

From about 1.5 you can start holding counter dough-nuts.

I reckon about 1.6-1.7 is good for full counter.

And then around 2, it get's pretty impossible to switch :(

[doriftokingu]

Yeah, it definitely takes some time to get comfortable with a countersteer setup. Being able to anticipate how quickly it changes direction is key. I've been playing around with this setup for a while now, and I'm still learning new ways to drive it.

how do you get counter steer on a tt-01 Type E

[monsterGAUZ]

hey nice, i have exactly the same counter setup now. i will try 15/39 at front so i will get 148% overdrive. with this setup in the video you have only 127%. but it makes fun to cause you never have to steer in the curve, you know what i mean?! only neutral or counter, nice!
