I would recommend that you use some locktite or threadlocking compound to secure the screws though. (just in case)

Make sure to get some extra blades, in a decent size impact the blade can break.

I just found out my carpet track will be running 4300 BL with rubber tires.

So I need to decide whether to convert my 007 to run rubber (I had it running very well with foams so I kinda hate to change it) or to use my new TC5 with the rubber tires...

Any advice? Does anyone have a good rubber tire on carpet setup? Does this car run well in that scenario?

I'd try the TC5 on rubber tires. That's what my club runs and my TC5 is dialled. Try Juho Levanan's setup on the Associated site to start with and tweak from there. The car is awesome on rubber, even without the ITF chassis, or whatever they're calling the thin chassis and upper deck.

i'd have to agree. car was shite, back end loose, very inconsistent.

put juho levenans set up from lrp masters.. was like wow it works.....

his set up also works with a spool up front but one way is tighter in the corners..

the setup looks backwars but it works

Hi guys how are yaz?

Im building my TC5 and im having trouble assembling the diffs. The diff screw wont reach the diff nut through the diff assembly. How long do i have to compress the diff spring for? did you guys have trouble to?

Also the manual is quite unclear as i cannot locate the wheel base shims, what bag are they to be found?

take a closer look at the nut that goes into the T-nut, as even though it looks like it is in properly it actually goes in a lot deeper. The T- nut has several notches in it so take something that is the size of the nyloc nut and push it further into the t-nut with moderate force and you will have no problems with assembly, I had the same problem and this fixed it.

The mannual is not real clear on this step,

would have loved to have had this car at every event I raced last year. This is hands down the best car I have ever driven. It doesn't require the use of other car parts to make it work and I haven't had to really change anything other than my droop and body shell. AE hit this one out of the park and racing is once again fun from week to week. For out door rubber tire there's no need to run anything but Ryan C. set up from the Reedy I can't wait to run this one the rug with rubber tire's and a oneway. My boy Harsh will be purchasing a couple as well. He buys everything in two's. You gotta buy it it when it keeps beating you....
