Team Associated TC6 Thread

As well as allowing you to use holes that are 180deg apart, the TC6 also allows you to use holes that are just 90deg apart, which is something none of us have any experience of.
I'm not suggesting you use all 3 holes at the same time; I'm suggesting that 180deg apart is better than 90deg apart. But it's nice to have both options. If you do a big gearing change in a rush you may not be able to get to the rear screw hole, in which case the bottom screw hole can be used.

Hi,
Just so you guys know the Setup I used at the Timezone GrandPrix few weeks ago has been posted to associateds website (www.rc10.com) and it is very similar to the Setup I used this past week end to win the 2010 Halloween Classic. The main difference, is that I used 5 wt lighter shock oil, and a silver spring up front. Both were on solaris tires but that setup works very well on other tires too.
If you guys have any question just PM me or post on here and I will try my best to answer ! Just thought I would post here so you guys have a starting setup for when the kit arrives.

Is the pinion as hard to change on the TC6 as it is on the TC5?
I have the FT TC5 and have it set up for rubber. Are you guys using any of the orings on the top deck ?
The new shocks require Losi 57 for best results?
I want to keep my TC5 as a second car, i love being able to use the screw on the outside of the mounts....can we swap out those mounts to the TC5?
Love the pics of the TC6 on the website but geesh someone could have taken a bit more pride in the build for the pics. Lot of flash on the plastic parts and could have ca'd some of the sides.

But that's because you've always used two screw holes on opposite sides of the motor (180deg apart), since that's where the holes are located in all the TC mounts I've ever seen.
As well as allowing you to use holes that are 180deg apart, the TC6 also allows you to use holes that are just 90deg apart, which is something none of us have any experience of.

Note: all of this is speculation on my part as I don't have a TC6 yet

OK this is the last working day of October (for us 9-5 Mon-Fri guys!) with Monday being the 1st of November - can someone from Associated please tell us where the TC6 is please...
Have the kits been completed and are they on a boat to us? I have been sitting tight waiting for the new car and having seen one on track it looks worth the wait but the new Xray was announced after the TC6 and is already shipping. The Schumacher Mi4CX which was announced after the TC6 looks like it is going to arrive first.
Surely, if the car is going to arrive in the next few weeks, then it must have been completed and shipped by this stage?

I want a Tc6 some kinda bad.
Rumor has it that my LHS and racetrack will be stocking TOP Photons/parts as of today. I need a car so i can start practicing for mod at The Birds. If i walk in and there are Photons and parts on the shelf... im likely gonna buy one.
I dont want this Tc6 release to be like the Tc3 release... almost three months later than promised, then the car hits the shelf. I dont wanna hit the rug with a car i know nothing about.
So unless someone can cough up a definite SHELF date... i dont think i can wait any longer either.

If that's the case, then the Photon is the way to go... The only reason why I'd get the TC6 is for ease of parts availability. But in my opinion, the Photon is a better car...

I hoped I don't have to write that, but TT (again) delayed the arrival. Now they say it will arrive on november 11th. Thank you

I have driven a Photon. I like it a lot and see a ton of adjustability and potential with it. I dunno... im torn. If TC's didnt cost so damn much it wouldnt be an issue. You can be up to $600 in a TC easy just having a few spares and options in your box.
This is what im talkin about. Freekin frustrating. I basically have 8 weeks to practice before Snowbirds.
