Im having an issue I dont recall being posted up about. Just getting my TC6 up and running and I put the servo in. The problem is the servo horn is hitting th bottom side of the top deck and flexing the top deck as I turn back and forth. Any solutions? I'm using a KO servo with the J servo arm.

What kind of Ko servo are you using. I cannot imagine a 1/10th servo being that high as the arm would touch the top deck, all servo arms are the same lengh in kit.

In what way are the soft bladders different from the ones in the kit?
Are they of thinner material, or so?
And if so, are they as durable as the ones in the kit?
What doe the soft bladders do for you, that is for the car, when racing it?
What about chassisflex?
XRay has a lot of options with screws here and there in there topdeck and chassis.
I realize that chassisflex especially on low grip asphalt is a must. But I prefer to tune the suspension.
How is it with chassisflex with the TC6?
Are there possibilities to tune the chassis and/or topdeck with screws in or out?
Or is it just the setup as in the kit? With all screws in?

On another point of quality of components which I find now frequently having two cars running, the quality of the screws is poor to say the least, even with good driver, the head hex have limited life, so watch out so not to be stuck with a screw locked on your car that you cannot remove, usually this happen at the wrong time or place

And the last great thing is their clear, you can see any air bubbles and get them all out. So you cant go wrong.
You can take the two screws out by the motor for more flex.

Here's a couple of pics of my servo mod. It's essentially the XRAY set bolted on, but I have the arms flipped to clear the arm blocks.
On my next chassis I will be moving the steering posts forward a few millimeters to give more room for the battery. You can see part of my cut upper deck --- generates tons of flex!

The TC6 chassis as stock is pretty soft as is, its softer than tamiya or xray. Most guys take out the 2 screws to the layshaft bulkheads.

When I go to big races, I need to put a stock shocktower back on the rear to when grip levels are high, but the cut one works great on club racing where the track layout is changed often.

I have a HUGE issue however, haven't done a search yet, but what is up with the camber links. Front and rear are SOOOOO long that none of the camber adjustment holes can be used. Am I missing something, or are shorter links an option part only that we shouldn't have to pay for?

I never had any issues with any screws that came in the kit...... 
Even the thrust bolt and nut in the diff worked fine with no trouble.
For the rear camber link I just cut the stock one down a bit with the Dremel. I've never found where I wanted a rear link as long as the front.

Great, anybody want a brand new 90% assembled TC-6 with tuning spring kit? Most of the stuff seems top notch, just can't believe there are no stock camber link adjustments available out of the box.
I suppose that fits with having the wrong size screws for the pivot block mounts as well. 4 3x14mm, 2 3x16mm, and 2 3x12mm. All 8 are supposed to be 3x14.

Instead of just shelling out another $5?
