Hi Josh,
Thanks for posting your setup from IIC. I am currently runing it, with some changes to fit a 5 cell car with a TC spec mounted behind the cells.
Are you runing A or B on the rear upright, for the upper camber link? We normally use A, but I remember a setup where you ran B.
Best,
Peter Knudsen

Hi Peter,
In vegas I ran 3-a but at the recent muchmore stock rubber race I uesd 4-b.
With 3-a it felt like you could drive the car harder into the corner and not worry about the back end coming around.
With 4-b I had to be a little smoother on corner entry and it yeilded faster times.
The muchmore race did have alot more grip than vegas.....so I don't know if 4-b will work on low - med bite tracks.

hi,
i have a new tc5r. a little confused with the spool option assembly,-do i build the spool (spool pad kind) with diff balls or not? the maunal pictures for the spool is a little confusing.
also, i have only one turnbuckle i could not assemble- with one end not threading to the ball cup - any advice on this problem?
thanks

It helps to take an xacto knife and chamfer the hole in the ball cup. Just push it in a little and twist.
Has anybody played with a one way running rubber on carpet? I know back in the day of the Kawada it was good for 2 or 3 10ths a lap. Have a race this friday and all the big dogs will be there. Looking for any edge I can get.
thanks

I tried lots of changes but setteled on my vegas setup with the above changes and the 2mm shims at the front bulkhead (as listed before)
It was the fastest car at the race..........If I drove it at 95% it was easy to drive..........If I tried to drive it at 100% and really push it.........it was a little hard to hang on to.

Camber change?
Hi Josh,
Did you make any camber changes for the MuchMore tires?
My next race is Speed Weekend in Germany, I can see Christer and Joel will be there.
Nationally we run VTECH or Sorex tires, and I normally run -1,5 front and -2 rear. But with the MuchMore Sweep tires we will be running in Germany, I have noticed a line at the inside edge of the tires. Since the tires are lower profile and have harder sidewalls, I was thinking of decreasing camber by 0,5.
Have you noticed something similar with the MuchMore tires?
Best,
Peter

I think my setup is very close to what Christer runs..............Joel's setup on the other hand is completely different than anything I have ever seen before.
I'm sure they will both be fast.......and willing to help.

on the tc5r manual--page 8 step 3.
how many and what mm shims do i use for the front arm mount to bulkhead connection? Should I shim them evenly as opposed to the rear-where I want to shim them unevenly to get rear toe to point in?

99% of the time you will want them shimmed evenly.............one thick shim is a safe place to start.
