I guess nobody knows this???

haven't heard anything about it - only that the FT version should come out next year and I would assume the RTR would come out after that.

there probably will be, but i wouldnt be expecting one for about 6 months or so.

I broke my motor clamp about a week ago and I know it wasn't even really tight.

the B4 RTR came out first, something like 3-4 months after the release of the B4. Probably it will be the same for the TC4...

yeah i broke 2 of those motor clamps as far as the rtr goes i would say in like april or may judging on when other rtrs have come out

raving-monkey

and how long ago did you 2 buy your TC4s?

im gonna get the blue alluminium one next (should be upto a bit more strain since its machined and not cast..and will give a bit before snapping)

What happens when you change springs and they have different lengths? Coppers are longer than purples so does that you run more droop with copper springs? I think this method has some flaws.

Javen13

yeah after i broke the 2 cast ones i got the alumium and havent had a problem

I also broke a cast motor clamp, very weird. So I stole the one off my TC3 and didnt have any problems with it.

I would like to get the aluminum one but its $25 , give me a break.


The funny thing about that droop setting is that it doesnt really measure correctly. I did this method with newly rebuilt shocks. After I did the method, I wanted to see how accurate it was. Turns out that I had a droop of 8! Thats why I just take my shock off to measure droop with a tool.
And I'm pretty sure I was doing it right also.

ALL the same length. The springs should also be the same. Seems to work for me.

Associated said on their site that the RTR TC4 should be out the beggining of 2005. So I would expect in at the end of this or next month.

As far as Xray v. TC4 I agree the Xray seems like a better car even just from an engineering standpoint. But the LHS has Zippo on there shelves for the Xray and a ton of AE parts even rims for a DS. I really hate thinking I might break some thing and have to wait two weeks for a replacement so I'll go with what is carried! I looking forward to leaving the darkside even though my xxxs g+ is the first car I was ever competitive with and I'm really wanting the TC4 but AE better get on the ball releasing the FT v.

I dont think that the X-ray is that much better of a car. I just think the TC4 hasnt been on the track long enough to make an impression yet.
