Ive always ran the mid cams on the high setting. They dont directly make your car better, but you get more options, which you will use and they do make a difference

If I had to guess, he is doing what I did for the first part of the outdoor season, leaving the car stock and trying to get a good ballpark setup before giving himself more options

Im running .1 caster blocks with reguler ole tc6 everything else and after playing with the car for a bit I feel like Idont physically have as much steering throw so I was thinking that maybe the .1 spindles may have been clearanced a tiny bit more for more throw since the .1 caster block is bigger.

Sounds like Exotek are working on a TC6 conversion using Tamiya style mounts:

http://www.redrc.net/2012/06/exotek-...-hinge-blocks/

First time I've seen the 'TC6TEK' name used anywhere, and no sign of it on their website just yet... a little teaser I think!

Having said that, I like being able to adjust the suspension in any dimension without spending any more money, so not sure I really want Tamiya style mounts. Although the improved accuracy would be nice, it comes at a £££ cost.

Default To DCJ or not to DCJ

That is the question I'm facing right now on my TC6. I'm getting ready to convert it to a 6.1 so I can try the more current setup ideas. But im wondering if any of the team driver are really using the DCJ's or are they using the stock shafts. I run VTA so I'm looking for the advantage but is it worth carving up C- hubs?

I'm using the kit cvd's and I can't see any chatter when on the track or the bench in VTA even at full lock
But I get what you saying
Will they free the car up a bit in the corners

For the guys that run mod, its a personal preference. Rick does not run DCJs, but Keven does. It gives a different feel. For stock, I definitely prefer DCJs, since they feel like they dont scrub speed as much. If you run the TC6 c hubs (not the 6.1s), there is no durability difference dremeling out the C hubs

I broke tc6 and tc6.1 hubs at the same rate. Never broke a non dremeled hub.

Looks like it will come with different bulkheads, as the standard TC6 bulkheads get in the way of the Tamiya style hangers.

Interesting. Everyone in my area has to do something mighty impressive to break a 6 hub, even dremeled. Ive even noticed since I started using the 6 hubs on the 6.1, im more likely to break an arm mount than a c hub

Don't do it, if you are running vta with the 6.1 the stock set up is great for that.

I hear you Hairy, Myron told me to do the same thing about the 6.1 standard setup is a beast in VTA. He even came to our track and proved it. I've been using the RSD DCJs on my TC6 as of now and was just wondering what the pros are doing now.

I've been waiting for this Exotek Chassis. Kinda disappointing if they change to Tamiya style mounts. I really love the PPD Dial-A-Grips on my Chassis.

Too bad I can't get one of your Prototype Chassis's Dale!

$30

You get the dcj's + the special wheel adapters.
All brandnew, never been used, in original packing.

Say the word and I'll ship immediately.
Payment via PayPall if possible.
