I think the guy on the left is Jim Varney. He used to play Earnest in tv commercials. He is from my hometown.

I want to see some closeups of some associated rides from the birds as well as some set-ups.

Nope...you've managed that just fine on your own. Go get 'em.

Sorry B., I can't think of his name, but that's not Jim Varney. The guy was a character actor in a lot of smaller roles through the 70's and 80's. Heck, probably still at it and I just haven't seen him in a while.

Hey Vern...

The Losi off-road piston's work without modification. Just do a test fit first to make sure that there is no molding marks left on the sides so that it could scrape the shock body.

Thanks Kraig.

Any other building tips for the TC5? I've read through most of the thread and haven't found a whole lot. I remember all the crazy stuff we would do to TC3's back in the day.

Other than the basic building tips for any kit like wet-sanding and CA'ing the chassis and tower edges, make sure you compress the servo saver and diff springs with a pliers before assembly, etc., there' nothing too special you need to do. Make sure you get it balanced side-to-side, using one of the various methods discussed here. I also prefer to use longer 3mm cap screws in the suspension mounts...long enough that they actually protrude the outside edge of the blue alloy piece slightly. Good luck!

A friend of mine has a 416 and he would let me try it out this sunday he said it's really good but I have to see it first, coz the previous owner is having a problem driving it. I'm getting another tc5r this sunday from a friend of mine he only used it for two races. What are you going ot have on your tc5 (motor esc) and where do you race it.

Some servos are a little tight in the mounts.........I have heard that you can use the mounts from an ae off road car or I just removed some material from the mounts to move them closer to the servo.

I've got a BLS 451 or a 9550 to throw in there.
