basically enough stuff to build a total of 2 diffs, but you get to choose what kind you want to build...

Im very interested in buying the TC-4 factory kit. What other bits do I need to buy to have the car to have full adjustability? Does it come with a front oneway diff and rear toe blocks? Any help would be good.

great to hear that's it's officially out! hopefully anytime soon the fttc4 will hit our shores as well.
would be great if barry comes on-line sometime soon to give us a good asphalt set-up. i always found his old rubber/asphalt set-ups on the tc3 to be great baseline set-ups and suited my driving style. they seemed to work pretty well everywhere.
calling barry b!

continue to put together my FT TC4 and have found that the car goes together very well and without real difficulty. Only ran into two issues so far.
1) stripped out three of the blue aluminum screws with a 1/16" hex. One is going to be very hard to remove as it was 99% of the way in. All three are countersunk screws.
2) One of the small set screws for the CVDs was poorly molded as the spot for the hex driver was closed up and from what I can tell is a very short solid screw. Ran to a local hobby shop at lunch and picked up a rebuild kit for a Losi that had the set screw that I needed. Expensive way to do it but that is all they had. Even looked throught a few of the spare part bins they had on their work bench.
So far I love the looks of the Car. Everything moves very smoothly.
Now I have to decide on what wheels and tires to get. I will be running on a concrete parkinglot. Any you recommend?
Thank you,
K

Anyone else tried of replacing wheel...
bearings? 
The bearings can't take much of a hit, if any. I wish AE would make this part more durable. The x-ray05 looking better all the time.

I have had the same PTFE bearings in my car for over a year now. No durability issue whatsoever. And as far as an XRAYS durability, i have a friend that bends those "superstrong spring steel" dogbones, breaks hub bearings and cracked a chassis in two. ANY kit will break if driven as such. You cant judge a kit based on the owners skill level.

FROGRACING: Have you tried grinding a slot in the head of the screw(s) to remove it with a flat blade screwdriver? Dremel makes a small diameter grinding wheel that if you are very careful, will give you that slot, and not damage any surrounding material. Didnt know if you knew about this little trick, just thought i would pass it on. Also, make sure when building a car with aluminum screws that you DO tap the holes with a steel screw first, as WARPIG mentioned. Using a high quality wrench will lessen the chances of issues, and if you wrench as much as i do, replacing your wrench tips when they get worn, will also help. If the tips look rounded, they will strip aluminum screws. The steel L-shaped wrenches AE provides will put the car together, but they suggest the proper tools in the opening of the manual for a reason.

Were are all the team drives ?????????????
Where are all the team drivers?
I kind of thought that they would be on R\C TECH promoting there product, and hooking us up with some answers to are questions on set ups.
So let’s start the chanting
BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY
or even Craig Craig Craig Craig Craig Craig
Show some support for the new car
I know it's just a jazzed up TC4 but with a new chassis and top plate there is going to have to be some new hot set ups.
Thanks,
