26mm HPIs ....unsure on the wheel size.

The wheels that come with the racer and team version of the TC3 are 26mm.

GKHTC3

Well; there you go then..........

That measurement refers to the width of the wheel. I would use the 26mm for your application.

Yep! And, that's a really nice tire, in my opinion. I'm getting really good wear with mine. Like I said before, I'm using these X patterns in the parking lot for our lunch time racing. I'm sure I will go with slicks when the racing season resumes in the spring. And, still use the X patterns for parking lot / street racing.

Thank you, I'll add them to my next order and try them out. I need to find aluminum caps for the shocks with the bleed wholes in them too. Wish Associated shocks were easier to build correctly. A pain filling up the cap and then screwing it down as fast as you can, I'm use to the Losi shocks. Nice and easy to get right the first try

I know!! I just rebuilt my TC3 threaded shocks. What a pain! But, since I have had my TC3 now for about 2 months, and I just recently added the blue aluminum shock caps, I figured I would go ahead and do a rebuild. I used 40wt. oil, and yes it was time consuming, for sure. I have an OFNA stand with that nifty shock holder, and that came in very handy. I think I got them all about equal. But just like anything else....next time should be easier.

By the way.... How often do most of you rebuild your shocks?

With my other cars I did it every other race. Probably wont do these quite as often since its not offroad. Probably every 3rd race now. I like smoothe consistent shocks

I ordered my blue aluminum shock caps from Tower www.towerhobbies.com - about $10 for the set of 4. Team Associated makes them.

I noticed Barry Baker's TC3 race setup in the November issue. What kind of Spur Gear is he using?

Dusting off my TC3 and doing major upgrade..has been sitting on the shelf for over a year now...
Don't know if this was discussed yet...anyone running the XXX-s rear hub carriers on their TC3's? I just changed mine..fits perfectly...camber angle about the same. Anyone done this mod and how does it handle?
Also what is the advantage of running the rear shock towers in front along with the new 2 hole arms? I know it places the shocks more upright... what are the advantage and disadvantage of doing this mod..?

Here's what I've done to my car so far:
