Hey guys - new to RC Tech, I've been racing a TC5 for about nine months now and it's been a great car. I've read just about every page of this forum and thought it was time to chime in.
Just changed to Rick Hohwart's '08 World's set-up three weeks ago. I run rubber tires on a medium grip asphalt track in MI - Lazer Speedway (Hey Russ and Leslie !!), this setup has been great !!
Made a few changes mainly to shorten the wheelbase because we have a couple of tight 180's, but the car handles and responds fantastic. Running the diffs and a-arms all the way up looked a little strange at first but I think this is the best set-up I've had on the car yet.
Looking forward to helping out where I can and learning from the best !!

i sent mine in with the upper deck numerous weeks ago just happened to call them today and they said they would get to it today i think the quality control needs to be stepped up a notch considering i paid for the chassis and upper deck a while ago and also spent lots of time glueng the chassis till it looked like glass ae get it together and make sure thunder tiger gets it right the first time been running ae cars for years and noticed a drop off in quality control since tt took it over

Rear Suspension Adjustments
Hey guys, just wanted to hear your thoughts on some rear suspension adjustments.
1. Rear hub camber position A vs. B, what differences would you expect and when would you run one or the other ??
2. Rear hub toe, what's the real difference between running 3 degree rear toe with arm mount shims vs. let's say 2 degrees with the shims and another 1 degree @ the hub ?? Same thing, what difference would you expect and when would you run ??
These are a couple minor adjustments I've thought about recently that are really not covered in the XXX Main set-up book.
Thanks,

tire issue
well i had another race this past sunday with no problem blowing my tires off. i changed from Jacco 27 to takeoff 30's and they seemed to grip better and hold my line even tighter. i was in 1st place in the main untill i lost a thumb screw for the battery hold down and had a lipo go sliding across the track. which ended in a 3rd place finish. oh well looks like i need to invest in some strapping tape or a lipo tray, or maybe both.
