I've had good luck with Andy Moore's setups. He's got one up from the IIC for rubber. Got to a new track, and with only a couple of tweaks it was in the zone.

I'm still trying to find a weight plate suitable for the TC using IP3800 35C.

Building my TC kit right now but have a question. Which side should the shorter end of the Center Layshaft be on, motor or battery side?

Give Billy Bowerman a call at Speedworld (916) 783-8864. He might have some in stock. This is where I got mine from a while back.

front arm sweep. even though you adjust the tor with turnbuckles you can achieve different things adjusting the front arm sweep. Korey will be along shortly to give the PC explaination

IMO the more arm sweep in the front made my car feel a bit lazy initially. Running the car without any arm sweep felt good but might have been a bit too responsive initially. It all goes on personal preference.

PC Explanation (whatever that means... haha):

Front arm sweep changes how the car reacts around the apex of the corner the most. Like my buddy Clint said, it will smooth out the car initially when you add inboard toe out (often times called arm sweep). But it also makes the front end create a lot fo grip right around the middle of the corner.

The opposite is true when you reduce arm sweep. When you reduce arm sweep it should make the car feel a little more "crisp" right around the center, but then smooth out for the rest of the corner.

Play with it and see what you like! It's a powerful tuning option.

Shorter end of the shaft should be on the motor side. The screw heads from the spur gear should be facing that direction as well .
