I have a Sidewinder/3800kv combo, I wonder if it'll work with the TC4?

Thanks guys and appreciate the help.
If you are getting the RTR TC4 stick with the motor that comes with it at first. can't really say about the sidewinder combo, but as they say try it you may like it

The TC4 tub chassis accepts all standard 2S lipo packs with ease.

Some packs rock a bit on the ribs, and some fit nicely, but if they are over 47mm wide, you might need some trimming...

If I wanted to convert my tc4 tub chassis to a ft version what parts would I need other then the chassis and the top deck?

Thanks!

Depending on how you want it setup

Motor mount
Center spline and sPline mounts
The stiffener posts that mount to the top deck to the chassis
The a-arm mounts. Blue circle square and triangle. And the rear toe block

The upper camber link mounts

That's with out comparing the 2 manuals. I'd get the two exploded views and see for yourself

ok well decided to start a conversion before realizing many tc4 parts are hard to come by... found most of them but looking for
asc31105 motor mount
asc31101 rear shock tower

If anyone has extras they are willing to sell or knows where I can get one please send me a pm.

Thanks!

If it comes with a front spool, then it will need to run losi LCD's up front... Anyways Jdeadman, I found out that running no spacers under the arm mounts, and raising the inner camber links as much as possible got rid of my traction roll problem for good on high bite carpet. I even clipped dots like crazy and still no hint of traction roll at all ! That was with the tub chassis. The manual recommend two or three shims(2.5mm to 3.75mm) under the inner camber links, but I put as many as possible (5 or 6 shims) until there is just enough thread left on the ballstud, and combined with no shims under the arm mounts, front anti dive and rear anti squat..... I did three qualifiers, and one main and no flips !!!! I got to go back and practice more because I was catching the leader (Xray 2012) in my main, and he had a brushless 17.5R while I was running a brushed 27t monster horsepower at 6.6666 FDR.... It was the C main though, but these guys had months of practice with their cars while it was my second time running this year.... The suspension seems to be working now, instead of the usual brick I use to get before. I had blue front springs and gree rears. I will change the rears to silver though to correct a little on power push in certain sections of the track....

Very Nice!!! I have the FT chassis and have gone thru my car and cleaning it up for the up coming MN On-road Champs at the end of the month.

I will try to go higher on the Inner camber links as I have gone up some but I need longer threads on the ball studs.
