Thanks

Are you refering to the springs from this?

Yep they are in that set but I believe the set only includes one pair of each springs. Here are the pistons I used 68768

It does but thats why you update quanity to 2. If not I can use em on the Yok as you suggested earlier.

The 6543 springs are what comes in the kit no? I have always used even on my xray the silvers,blues and pinks. They are great springs.

Fred Hubbard

Yep.

I know you have to be completely biased but whats your opinion so far?

I know with the 2012 I had to push the car to it's limits to be able to get a good lap.

So far with the Yokomo I have to take it easy to get a good lap. If I push it I lose time.

What about the TCXX same concept? or in between?

I am very interested in going TCXX for this season.

I am coming from the older Schumacher MI4LP, the car was very tough and rarely broke, its biggest issue was a very loose back end.

The original TCX was not a very popular car locally due to being quite fragile.
One local driver seemed to continually be doing very well and would lightly tap a board and snap something in the front end.

Have the plastics been altered or beefed up at all to help prevent this breakage?

I am looking forward to seeing some more of these cars in action.

I am new to hot bodies cars and the set up sheet and just noticed the option for the front arms. I see by flipping them you get a total of 4 different shock mount positions. Nice! now to verify I installed mine correct

Fred,
Did you have different rear arms on your car? I seem to remember 2 swaybar mounts on the same side of yours which explains the longer sway bars that came with the kit. Will this be a future part number?

Really I have seen the TCX take some hard hits and walk away un scathed. I def wouldn't classify it as fragile.

It does have a lot of shared parts TCX/TCXX

I don't have to force this car to work the was it supposed to, it does it naturally. The last car I drove was painfully difficult to get it to feel the way that I wanted it to and once I was able to get close I had sacrified so much in other areas it was frustrating. I could get the other car to get around the track and be competitive but it was just too much energy in doing so.

They're much better from what I recall seeing a year or so ago. Case in point, yesterday I got creamed 2 out of 3 times, I'm talking the other car hitting mine and it going end over end and into a wall once...no broken parts!!! That should answer your question


They were/are our only arms. I just have a 75115 in #4 hole on the rear arms so I can use a wider rear bar if I'm looking to negate rear grip.

Cool I see the kit came with two extras of those so that makes perfect sense! Thanks and thanks for all the help and the setup sheet!

Fred are you running 550cst with those pistons?

Fred Hubbard

iTrader: (6)

No Losi 90, that shock setup is or asphalt. On carpet I'm running 550cSt and 1.1mm 3 hole pistons.
