First off, i've been out of the touring car thing for a little while, but what's the difference between the TC5 and TC5R? When i went from a TC4 to a TC5, the biggest difference i noticed was the power delivery, especially with a brushless setup. Much much smoother and more controlable power delivery cause the belt stretches and absorbs some of the torque. The car just handles much better then the TC4, it turns more. Much better car over all. My only complaint is that for a touring car it does have a bit of slop in the suspension components compaird to the X-Ray and Corally cars.

I use the stock chassis with the ITF top deck (sometimes with orings on all 8 screws) It is certainly an improvement on the standard set up.
I have not used the ITF chassis.

Lower CG?
Has anyone ever tried to mill 1.5 or 2 mm away from the bulkheads and
steering post to lower the CG?. I am thinking about that for quite a while now...

from the reading i have done that mod is not worth the trouble, and will not give you much of a change. however if you dropped the middle layshaft by about 2-2.5mm that would be the change to make.

Bob said when he was bulding the car that the higher cg helps the car not tweak or hold its tweak.
