RIGID FRONT AXEL
hy all
for the front rigid axel addict like myself you can do one on really simple way
start from a TC5 aluminium part you just trim the short side in order to take totally out the place where the ball bearing is fitted because the tc 5 is wider
the long one is the same
it is really easy you can fit you axel on a dremel or other and just turn it removing the aluminium
after you can use some little tube or other to craate the new place where you will apply the shim n the ball bearing + plastic parts
just try n let me know
have a nice rolling sunday
this way you got a hard spool in 10 mns

Your decision should be based on budget, parts availability and setup support at you track. The TC6.1 will be available soon so you may want to wait a bit or you could buy the car posted on the previous page. The TC6 is quite competitive.

+1, of course I am extremely pleased with the TC6. Easy to drive fast, setup and parts support everywhere with a relatively inexpensive price tag. The 6.1 is available soon, recommend that kit if you go with AE.

Rick I have a question, did you or any other team drivers tried the new diff gear with only 2 satellite gears instead of 4, as used in the Serpent 411?
If so can you tell us what was the result?
I am a little surprise that only 2 are used in their car.(apparently for weight purpose)
Regards,

Regards,
Now even with two gear diffs (one filled with putty) the minimum weight is easy to achieve and the additional rotating mass of these diffs does not seem to be a problem.
It will be posted today hopefully.
You can try slightly more toe-in. And make sure the slipper spool is TIGHT. Depending on the class you are racing, you can tone down the motor so that it does not spin the tires as easily.

New TC6 setup posted
I just added Andrew Abbott's setup from his second place finish at the Australian Nationals. Looks like a great low to medium traction setup.
