EFFECTS OF CASTER ADJUSTMENT
Less caster angle (more vertical)
• Decreased straight-line stability.
• Increased off-power steering at corner entry.
• Increased suspension efficiency.
• Decreased on-power steering at mid-corner and corner exit.
More caster angle (more inclined)
• Increases straight-line stability.
• Decreased off-power steering at corner entry.
• Increased on-power steering at mid-corner and corner exit.
• Makes the car more stable through bumpy track conditions.

hi everyone, can anyone tell me that which part is interchangeble from tc4 FT with the tc team kit which is tub chasis. for example can the alu pivot block of FT be use at the tub chasis. thanks.

I know that that in addition to the aluminum pivot blocks, the graphite servo mounts, lightened steel out drives, I think that is all of the hop ups you can put on the Team kit from the FT Kit. I'm running the aluminum pivot blocks as well as the steel diffs, looks sweet, and performs a little more consistent.

The graphite servo mounts from the FT will fit the tub chassis IF you either cut off the centering tabs of the servo mounts OR drill the holes in the tub chassis for them to fit in. The shock towers (F/R) with the mounts will fit, and so will the top plate, with a slight bit of modification/spacing.

The BMI Kit was designed to replace the Tub car, not the FT car. Comparing it to the FT car you will notice a few very large differences. My old TC4 was full BMI, even had the motor mount which does have the bearing support for the center shaft. What I can tell you about the car is that ALL the weight was shifted forward. Yes All. The motor, servo and battery slots are all further forward. The steering rack is so much further forward that you really can't run washers under the ballstuds. What this does is give you a car that is super aggresive. This can be good and bad. If you are a new driver then you will have your hands full. If you are a pretty good wheel, then you will find the car to be very fast. I loved my car because you were always in the the ball park for setup no matter where you went. Oh and if you don't have the motor mount you will blow through spurs if your center shaft bearings are worn, so watch for that.

Ya beat me to it Ralph... BTW... the top plate on the car will fit with the (4) stock chassis braces... its tight... but it will fit. The only thing... swapping motors IS a bear.
