Yesteerday was so fun. Scotty's set up was great. I stayed will linear springs all night as they felt really good. I went with Xrai 17.5 up front and 15 in the rear. I also played with droop and wond up with 6 up front and 5 in the back using the Losi kit supplied droop gauge. I'm also running the stock diff out drives that come with the pro spec diff. I took off my alum one's. We'll see how the wear and tear goes running them in 13.5 The norcal area is here by on CYCLONE alert......

Additional info for the Hara springs,
as you all already know, they are matched springs. Don't compress them all the way down by your hand or they are matched anymore.
Be careful when you're comparing them to other spring or something.
Korey, it sounds like you did have good testing. I also have similar result as yours. Did you try the AME upper bulk heads?

I have two race days on them and about 14 packs through them and they seem to be holding up pretty good. Since I have been running 13.5 the diffs still feel really good. 13.5 doesn't put the stress on the diff the way my 3.5 use to. The next time out I hope that I can run the new R9 body. I plan on going to the same track again and see how much more I can push the set up. Hopefully I can bring Scotty with me the next time I go.

Thanks you

sorry, still new to the lingo... what is the C Hub? and do you have a picture of an upgraded one? i have to go down to the shop because i need a new spur gear.. so i might as well pick up a better C Hub while im there...

The c hub is the piece that looks like a big c that holds the front knuckles to the car and is attached by a hinge pin to the front a-arms. The pro4 and regular cyclone c hubs are what you want preferably the 4degree caster ones

The 4 degree carbon graphite c-hub is part #HP73518.
C-Hubs, Steering Blocks, A-arms and Rear Hubs are some of the more common parts that will break in an impact. If you race somewhere that doesn't have HB parts in stock you might think about stocking up on these parts in case you break at the track.

is there a thicker carpet chaasis for the TC availible yet?
08-25-2008, 04:04 PM
The currently available 3.6mm chassis is great for carpet racing and it fits on the TC without any modifications. 
If you are running on carpet with rubber tires the stock chassis is actually just perfectly fine.
