Anyone have a good rubber tire setup for carpet running super stock?

I see the setups from IIC last year, but not sure how well they work. A

After driving a half a year with my TC5 it still is a wonderfull car. No problem with parts. For example the shockss where easy to build, didn't leak at all. and don't loose a lot of rebound. Fantastic car!

Now my TC5R is in, again no problems with the parts, or not?
The shocks where a compleet nightmare. When you build them the bladders seem to be to big, and the shock has a lot of rebound. When you try to leave some oil out of the shock the shock cap lifts up the bladder and gets some air in the shock. After 3 days fighting with them and asking other people the were good enough. Not that much rebound, and no air. But 2 shock's didnt feel so good when going in the house.

I tried to drive with the shocks, but the car was a compleet mess. no stability at all. Also after one round driving three of the shocks where leaking like sh*t... I Changed the shocks for my TC5 shocks and the car was SuperB.

When you look at the manual there is no difference in the numbers of the TC5 - TC5R Shocks. So they should be the same. But mine are not!

I Think, like I said, that the bladders are wrong. the seem to be to big, and won't fit the shock housing.

Did one of you guys had this problem to? Does Associated know this? Did Associated made a mistake with the bladders?

Yeah, the shocks are a pain to build, you almost have to stuff the sponge into the bladder first, then seat the bladder and try to jam it closed with the shock full of oil. Can be done, but not the easiest ones available.

Is there away to adjust the diff without dismantling the car?

To adjust the diff just pop off the camber link on the side with the adjustment screw, let the arm drop and the CVD slide out of the outdrive, and make your adjustments. Doesn't take long at all...

@ robert k

Try Tamiya / HB shock bladder

My shocks from the TC5R actually went together better than my standard kit. I don't use any of the foam rebound spacers.
