I was very surprised at how much cooler and faster the ESC was from what I had before. But I never ran into much issue with runtime with the 6500 battery before tho, I cam close a few times but it didnt seem much of a problem. I dont think .0 are more efficient. I think it has a lot to do with ESC settings, sometimes when they are wrong, it can be slower when the timing is too much and it doesnt reach it and therefore it will also drain more batteries so also something to take into concideration. But I think both motors are great and you can find what you like with either one of them with some testing, gearing and ESC.

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi keven, no problem.
For the shocks I do the same thing but I use the Tamiya blu o-ring and I am satisfied for the work with 450 MuchMore oil. Now I am testing Tamiya shocks to see the difference between the original TC6.For gear diff. some tips? Building, oil, grease and so on.
For your set-up I am not able to see this in the IIC website, can help me?
Now solved in "Team Associated TC6 Thread"
Thks

I run the Tamiya one from Spec-R but I beleive the Yokomo are a good fit has well but you need 5mm hex with any dual joint you will use because stock AE hex wont fit.

Everything else should be going together well and you should be good to go.

For 1/12, if you do run mod, I would not go any bigger than 42.5-43mm in the rear to start with and 40.5 front to get about 5 runs on them. problem is when running modified now the cars are so fast that tire wear can be an issue. I run mine down to 38.8mm but thats as low as I will go for front and 40.8 for rear.

Good to hear you will be at timezone GP. Looking forward to meet new people.
