    Hello. You were referred to me as a fellow that is running a TC3 in VTA with some success so I thought I would see if I could get some setup advice. I have been racing RC on and off road for several years so I am not completely without knowledge. I currently have a speedworks carbon fiber chassis with all the TC3 driveline. It seems like the other touring cars on rubber tend to push but I have the opposite loose in the rear condition, particularly when accelerating out of a corner. I currently have the car set up soft and with no swaybars. I have tried to tighten the front by stiffer springs only to have a push coming in and still loose going out. I know there are a huge amount of variables but would appreciate any pointers or setup advice that you could offer. Thanks in advance, Michael

    The Tamiya TA08 Pro is considered a "tub-type" chassis car. It is much more adjustable than your traditional basher-esque sedan, or TT-02. They also offer it in a hopped up R version. I don't have...

    I've actually had great success even using cheap titanium or aluminum screws to always put a tiny bit of grease or ChapStick on the threads when I screw them in for the first time.

    I don't think it does the hobby any good going in circles and moving the goal posts and segregating people into different classes just infantilizes the new or talent limited racers. If you are slower...

    In TITC they took last year's results as basis for control practice groupings. In control practice, 3 consecutive fastest laps determine your grouping in qualifying.

    As a race director, if you leave the venue and are late to get back for your race, I'm going to start the race without you.

    I have found the Protek 2s 5000mah battery works the best for me for balance and lightweight. Been running my LiHV for 3 seasons now.

    I can see no advantages, only disadvantages-- the main one being expense, just as you stated. Every time the weight drops, the wallets open. That's never good.

    Springs are cheap, if in doubt replace them. Buy 1 up and 1 down rate for tuning options As far as 2 springs - check the manual, chances are the manufacturer knows best how to set up the car.
