Hey Kevin, what would be a good set-up for 17.5 blinky on low to medium grip asphalt?

bought a second hand tc6 in great shape but Im struggling to get any droop!! everything looks good top shock is in 5th hole in,outer hole on bottom,ride height is 5.5 in rear 5 in front,ball cups are screwed out 3 turns on bottom,running 2 dot holders front and rear???? still no droop?? rubber tire

My guess - shock lenght, also 2 dot if on B won't help.

Check if there isn't any spacer inside the shock....

This might be stupid, but if you bought a 2nd hand TC6, have you checked to make sure that all the parts are stock. The original owner might have used something that looks similar but might be messing something up. It's a longshot but worth looking into if all else fails.

gonna check,but i think the parts are all correct,also if I wanted the most traction on low grip asphalt would i use the 0 mounts on b position or the 3 dot roll centers?

Keven,

What oil will you be running in your gear diff when you get to NorCal hobbies for the Reedy? Putting my car together now and could use a good starting point.

I'm about ready to start building my new tc6, and I was wondering if I should sand and glue the edges of the chassis or not? I haven't seen much of anyone doing it lately, so I thought I would ask. Thanks.

Brand new to the hobby. I just purchased a TC5R from the clearance section of AE website. Basically I just wanted something to build without spending a lot of money. I'm looking for a Body and some wheels and tires. Do I need a 190MM or a 200mm body? Can you point me in the right direction for some good sources? I'm a crappy painter and would happily pay for a painted body.

Hi Todd,

I usualy measure droop with uptravel ! I get the car ready to go and then I usualy start at 1.5mm uptravel front and 2.5mm rear. Ont he setup sheet it uses a droop gauge from associated. that measure should be taken right under the screw of the outer hinge pin ! at the bottom of the arm.


This part was made for TC6. IT is called a rear bumper, it is to prevent body tuck and rear end damage under a big crash ! I am not sure if it has been made to production on not but if no I am sure you can use a rear tower and make something up with it.

Hi,

I am pretty sure the setup from xray challenge posted on AE's website will be a very good starting point. I would give it a shot

Hi Martin,

I have been running my gear diff for quite some times now without rebuilding it. Last time I built it it was with 1000 but it leaked a lot since then so it is a lot close to 50wt now ! On asphlat 50wt seems to be a good starting point. it seems to make the car rotate very good.

Hope this helps

Hi Ken,

Lately I havent been gluing mine ! I just round the edge with sand paper. The front bumper does protect the chassis so I did not see much need for it.



Hi,

you will need a 190mm. Proline/protoform has a big selectrion to choose from ! their website is www.pro-lineracing.com . For tires there are a lot of tires you can chose from but it all depends on what type of surface you want to run on.

Kevin, whats your current setup at the front;
gear diff or spool? if gear, what oil are you using?

also, you have said previously if you went front diff that you would use the standard cvd's. What is wrong with using the xrays ecs with a front diff?
