Please give up a head's up if you notice anything different with the FT TC4 at the Reedy Race.

Hey guys, I had the same problem so I make sure I get the 26MM foams fronts for my TC4 although I have used the 28's on my TC3. Try using a thin wheel spacer maybe that will help. Gene

No, mine bind all the time. Its as if the steering knuckles are not designed to handle the wheel width.

i don't know what all the hype is about ceramic bearings.
yes they may last longer but not that much longer to justify spending 100$$$ on them.
they AREN'T smoother....the tolerances in them are much greater than that in decent quality steel bearings.
i used SKM bearings in my old xray, plan on getting some more for my TC4.....they have tolerances of a couple of microns....ceramic bearings have tolerances of much more microns.
if you look after steel bearings they will last just as longer, or just a bit less than ceramic bearings, at a quarter of the price.
associated sell bog standard teflon sealed steel bearings over here for about £100, i can get decent quality ones for £2.50 a bearing, i think it came to about £30 to replace them all in the xray.
if people in the UK sold ceramic bearings i can garuntee them bearing well over £100..and it just isn't worth it.

Ok one more question. What are you guys doing for bearings? Ceramic? and if so who's?

Hey Bob, I standard bearings actually work pretty good. I do have ceramic in mine. Only cause I got a really good price on them. The next time I need bearings it will be a regular set from from Boco or Acer. The TC4 drive train is really pretty free and ceramics are not a must have.

is there a how-to on drivetrain freeing?
I read several times that people modify the gear boxes,i which way?

after i put my car together,i put a motor in it and ran it for about two hours at about 4.2 volts to loosen everything up...seemed to help a lot. (ran it off my pulsar)
