Team Associated TC6.2 Touring Car
#1066
I'm just using a mix of the build setup and the standard Rick Hohwart asphault setup on the Team Associated website. I'm using Yokomo blue springs all around and frt spool with 2k wt. oil in rear gear diff. I left all the arm mount and camber link roll centers at kit setup but used Rick's front arm sweep and the inner (long camberlink) hole on bulkheads. The car has amazing corner speed on a medium grip parking lot fast flowing track with a 4.0t mod motard.
Thanks to Mr. Hohwart for an awesome starting point asphault setup!

Yeah the 6.2 can have some slop in the steering rack. The slop comes from the bushings that fit between the arms and the rack and also from the steering post. If you notice when you move the steering back and forth, you'll see the arms lift up a little on both sides in the front and along the post as well. What I did to fix it was to shave a little off the bushing to make the front fit tight (not too tight) and shaved a little off the top of the steering posts (again, not too much) to make the bushing on the posts sit all the way down on the bearing. This eliminates the slop in the rack itself. Although I've noticed a hard collision can cause it to loosen up again. Just rinse and repeat.

Well other companies are doing so. They are making a great far for 400 bucks but I'd rather pay 500 and have a superb car with the better quality.

As slop seems to be a problem by taking away precision, it is overrated! Our suspension geometry kills slop as soon as the tires are turning. When at the table my steering seems to have too much slop, too. On track, I have no problem to hit a stamp every lap.
I understand that slop is something we don't want, but it causes less problems than we imagine it does

Besides if all these kits were perfect, guys like me would be out of business...

I am in the process of building my TC6.2 that i've just bought and hit a hurdle with the rear diff.
Pages 6 & 7 show 2 diff shims internally on one side and one shim internally on the other.
Page 31 shows one shim each side internally (larger OD shims) and one each side against outdrives (smaller OD). This seems more logical as the kit came with 4 shims!
Can i please have confirmation that this is correct.
Did the search and this question was raised but i don't think it got a response or i've missed it.

We just got in both of these. They are starting to ship today. Please note the Universals are just the bones! They help shave a little extra weight off of the rotating parts. I even use them in the front with a gear diff.
As for the chassis, the pictures do not do it justice with how pretty it is. I will try to take some installed pictures soon so that the contrast of the polished edges can really pop. I am very happy with these.
