I pulled the IRS shaft out of my TC4....
My appologizes to Associated. The IRS shaft must be the reason for the front input shaft slop. I tried the stock one and it's not an issue now. The IRS appears to be the same as the stock part, but the IRS must be off. Anyone else have this problem with the IRS front shaft. I'm going back to both stock parts. Bummer.......I liked the lighter weight. I wish Ae would subcontacted Lundsford and make a titanium one.

Nightbreed- The IRS are great for a short period of time. Where the bearing sits gets smaller over time, I bet if you look at your shafts, there have two smaller grooves in them, lol. Mine did the same thing and I haven't ran them since.
JDM_DOHC- Is blue the only color available?

A guy at my track who's much faster than me suggested that I push all the electronics on my TC3 close to the center and not bother with adding lead weights to get the chassis balanced.
Upside... less overall mass and less polar moment of intertia...
Downside... obviously less balanced car.
Which is more important? Do all you guys balance your cars?
I'm considering trying to mount all my electronics as far out from the centerline of the car as possible to try to minimize the amount of weight I'll need to add to get a good balance.... but I'm puzzled because I don't see many others doing this with their cars.

FYI guys. The diff gears that came in my kit were too thick. The diff would not build properly. I bought some extra gears from the LHS and problem resolved............
Here is a pic of electronics. Before I add any weight I am going to get the car on the scales first. I will then add the weight where needed...

for 28mm foams you want to add shims to the front axel some people have said to use a diffrent hex but i have never tried it i just shimmed the axel out a little farther and it stopped them from rubbing

I think that SpeedTech can get also. I just ordered a bunch of gears input shafts from TiRacing that I needed.

Hi,
Nice looking TC4..........STILL waiting for ours.

Hi,
most of the TC4 owers at our track are grinding on the steering knuckles for clearance. instead of cutting the rims.
Thanks

yeah i filed the carrier down a little bit along with shimming the axel

Probably not as acurate as digital weight distibution you can buy the integy weight distribution from speedtech
