I usually run foam until recently....well I am getting ready for our fall classic where there is going to be a rubber tire class. So far so good however I can not find anyone that has an ITF top deck in stock. I have tried it without and using some unusuall set up tricks I finally can get the car to handle ok in the corners but I will bet the boys that have the ITF will have a bit more grip overall.

Anyone know of a supplier that has this part in stock?

If you are not wanting to run the motor on the edge then with 58 mm run 96/40 until you are at 56 mm then switch to 96/41.

thank you for your help!!!!!

Additive times were 20 mins on rear and 5 mins on front (both full width).

Noob question: I assume what you mean by this is you're applying the compound and letting it sit that long before burning off before the run?

I broke a plastic outdrive on a TC5. We want to replace the plastic outdrives with the aluminum outdrives. Is there anything needed other than the aluminum outdrives and the cvd blades?

I am assuming the diff internals will simply swap over to the new outdrives.

Heres the part numbers I am looking at . . .

Does anyone have any sway bar tweak tips? I tried sway bars this weekend and could not get the car right, but everyone else is running them so I know it was something I screwed up. My problem s is that the arms won't lift equally from both sides. I'm running Josh H's IIC setup

I did that but I just found out that the bars are not straight and they are brand new.

I apply the additive, let it sit that long then when the race before mine is 4 mins through, wipe the tires with a cloth, to remove 'wet' additive that is 'standing' on the surface still. Then place on the track and run it - no need to 'burn off' then. Have never liked the idea of burn offs anyway as it loads up the transmission unnecessarily.
