We have been making corrections as we find errors, it's amazing how many people and times you can look at something and still miss items.
I probably can get them to post the corrected version on-line, but I think we have a couple thousand already printed that have to be used up first.

Online PDF update would be fantastic! Most if us carry laptops with manuals, setup sheets, etc in PDF format. Heck I even have copies on my iPhone!

Thank you again Sean.. You are the man!

looking for an explanation of why gear diff over ball diff in this case, and what about 17.5 racing is the gear diff still the way to go?

The reason why I was thinking a light sand was for it to just fit the blade inside rather than having huge gaps from a dremel. Again, this is without actually seeing one in front of me. Thanks for the response and I await your findings

Just found some luck! Managed to get my hands on 2 Yokomo gear diffs! I'm in business now, supposedly they are backordered everywhere. Just need to wait 5 days for them to get here. Grabbed the last 2 they had. Going to run it in Mod and also try it in 17.5 spec.

That explains much. Just reassembled with the balls, couldn't get a thread to catch. Substituted a nut from an ASC6575, worked perfectly. I'll try it at the track this week. Thanks everyone for pointing me in the right direction.

Back to the TC6: Wasn't there some sort of update sheet about the freeing up the new open ended ball links? What's the secret there?

Please post some photos for your diff in TC5...
Any extra spacers needed?

i used stock shims and plastic ones only because i didnt have enough of the standard ones i think you can use about 5 on each side here is the link on the tc5 forum.
hope this helps

Ok guys, I was looking at setup sheets for the TC6 and Kevin Hebert show he is using a 1,1,1.5 shock piston. I'm thinking he is drilling his own, but does he mean 2 #1 hole an 1 hole between #1 and #2. Or are they 1mm and 1.5mm holes?

Thanks

To stop the body getting caught on the rear wheels in a rear end collision.

Another error in the manual:

The ackerman table on page 23 isn't correct; it includes steering link positions C (which don't exist) but doesn't have bellcrank positions C.

Pop them on the ball stud and then squeeze them with a pair of pliers. It might take a couple of attempts to get them free.
