Also like how fast you can try new block setup with dial-a-grip.
Great job VERNDOG,

Thanks guys enjoy! Dont forget to try your new quick tuning options, you will be surprised what a difference 1/2-1 turn adjustment will do especially when changing tracks or having a day the grip level drops.

Lunsford titanium turnbuckle my friend is the solution...

I would check my manual and give you the lengths needed, but I am on vacation and dont have my rc stuff with me.

My TC6 was good today, thanks to DIALED; a few more adjustments and I should be 'dialed' in

Default Gear diff issues

So I went with the genuine Yokomo BD5 gear diff for the TC6 but am regretting it. The driveshaft blades bottom out inside the outdrives, so you have to heavily trim the blades for it to fit. This has resulted in heavy wear to both the blades and outdrives due to the very small contact patch that is left on the blades.

Have others had the same issue? What about the Spec-R diff, do the blades need trimming or does it fit without issue (once drilled to 6.5mm)?

hey kevin,
one thing i noticed about the dial-a-grips. they dont like to be used with the plastic spacers used in the kit. aluminum spacers are recomended.

And I recommend Kevin make long ones that are the whole length of the dial-a-grips

Hey man you need to strip the car and rebuild it and check for tweak every couple of parts you put on to find what is causing it.i would say build as per the manual and keep checking though out the rebuild and ones you find what is causing it you can work out how to fix it.There is no use trying to figure it out when is built.there are many little technical ways to get rid of it but sometimes it just a bad kit.

I had the same prob Dale if you want to run kit rear track!The Spec R version allows more drive shaft plunge with out the blades bottoming out but you will need to take a little material off the gear casings so it fits.HTH Les

Yes this is true, they tend to take form and keep from being able to freely adjust. This note is on the instruction sheet 2nd note from bottom of page.

I thought about it, but after seeing what the kit full length spacers do I think full length may cause binding (you are forcing right angled pins and mounts off to an angle with rear tow). Even though using washer type spacers looks to be susceptible to movement, they are rock solid and will not budge with the dial-a-grip That makes it only a "feel good" part, and you can look to China for those please.

Hi, What are you guys running for spacers? I see that some are recommending aluminum spacers. Are these homebrew or are you using something commercially available?

Thx

Standard 3mm stainless steel washers (.020 thickness) work just fine. It takes 5 per end to get to 3 degs. rear tow....(just over 1/2 deg. ea).

Hey Vern, any chance you could generate some sort of reference chart to match up D-A-Gs to the Associated parts?

I.E

D-A-G in B, 0 turns = B0 (if thats correct...)
