Hehe, thanks Andrew. But you didn't see the man behind the curtain that was really driving my car. On a serious note, I was a speed bump out there. Now if all the good racers were there I would have been in the D main Spent all my time getting out of everyone else's way. But your help on the setup made that thing so easy to drive. Thanks for all your help.

Can we have a clarification on which diff build method out of the possible three is the correct one?

It's a testament to the diff, that regardless which method used it still will not leak.

These will screw right into the AE shock body?

Not always. The shock bodies off of my TC6.2 will not fit any of my Yokomo threaded shock collars. I have not tried to use a lot of force, but I did not think that should be the case.

I heard the tamiya shock collars would work. Have yet to try then as the ae ones work well enough I believe. Maybe im wrong though.

That's what I use and they fit perfectly.

Mr. Rick Hohwart, I have a couple of questions for you if you happen to stop by. I'm looking at your asphalt setups and noticed a couple things that seems to stick out. You seem to narrow the car in the front in both setups and run with positive toe on the front. The HPI silvers seems to be a staple across most AE setups I've seen. Is this pretty standard for asphalt? I'm new to racing and was just starting to get the feel for a carpet setup...now we're moving to asphalt and was curious where to start on the setup.

I just received mine and they went on beautifully. Really tightened up the slop at the collar.

The narrow front track is standard for asphalt for me. Positive toe (toe out) is common in most setups on and off road, 1/12, etc.

HPI silvers and AE silvers are very close in spring rate and performance. I do feel that the HPI drive softer than the AEs even though the rate is slightly higher. But this could be due to slight variations in production. Both are good options.

My Speedtech GCR7 setup works well for me on a variety of tracks but when the grip is low it may not be the best option. I ran a variation of this setup with my 6.1 with good results too so for me it is always a good place to start.

Hi Rick,
this makes me wonder:
what would you change starting with this setup, if the grip is lower?

Thanks! Greetings, Jan-Peter

Thank you Rick, much appreciated.

I would begin to lower the roll center by removing the suspension mount shims and use softer springs.

Tried doing a 'search' and kept coming up with unrelated results.

I've seen a couple of different ways to secure batteries in a TC6.2 in a few pics in this thread but have been unable to find where to get these upgrades. Are these home-spun mods or packaged items that are available online?

If some of you could re-post some pics of your battery brace, hold-down, or clamping device, that would be great. I may be able to fashion something myself with a little inspiration.

Thanks,

A grateful (re)newbee.

I'm really really liking the one AE just released.

So no one makes a "floating" mount like the xray one? They all use battery tape, and velcro?
