with diff settings as posted, front 5/8ths out and rear 1/8th out, no wonder you have a steering problem, you have them backwards. It's not even pulling on the front wheels.

I adjusted the diff according to the manual.
The tighter the rear diff, the more steering the car has
the more loose the front diff, the more steering the car has

I laid the NTC3 wheels off on the hudy board, and I am able to rock the chassis from side to side a small bit. I guess the chassis is twisted slightly then. Well, I guess I need to invest in a 7075 chassis. Can anyone recommend a NTC3 7075 chassis?

To avoid the diff gear stripping problem, I replace TA screws with Tamiya tapping screw (M3) on diff housing, 2 speed bulk and shock suspension joints. I use 2 shims on each side of the diff instead of 1 shim as suggested by the manual. I make sure there is no end play in the diff.

Whatever you think!!!!!
In 3 years of racing the NTC3 I've never had to run the front diff that loose, and I race mostly all tight short tracks where you need all the steering you can get.So if you had to back the front diff off that much to get steering, how would you get steering with a oneway??? With the front diff that loose all it would do is push the car through the corners. I don't think I have ever read that in a manual. I thought the manual says not to back the diff off anymore than 1/2 to 5/8. But... It's been 3 years since I have even seen the manua.
I thought the only time you read the manual is when all else fails!l

I've some questions regarding centax. Readed the post from p195 to latest twice but still can't get a better picture..
If I put a Mugen micro flywheel centax with 0.8 pinon gears, do I need to replace 2speed with Mugen 2speed?? Or it's a drop-in replacement??
Also, the Yokomo NTC3 centax, said be same spec with Mugen. Is the parts for Mugen centax (flyweight, shoe, bell) are also good for Yokomo NTC3 centax??
I know it's not necessary for NTC3 to use centax clutch. But I like to give it a try (nope, I won't try HN or KFactory centax).

drove a ntc3 for quite a while before switching to an mtx-3. definatly go with the centax. way more efficient power delivery. the k-factory is not a bad one. thrust bearing is interchangeable with mugen as well as all of the gearing options. I will never run a 2 shoe or 3 shoe again. it is definatly that good. I didnt start getting fast at my local track until I got 1. Look on ebay, I got mine for about 70 bucks shipped.
BTW: not trying to pimp mugen or anything., but you all of you that have durability problems, look into the mtx3. I dont have to worry about , oops I hit that board slightly, I might have broke an a-arm. the stock mugen plastic can take a beating and the car will make you feel so much more confident. Unless of course you are Barry Baker.

hey guys, run tc3 for the first time today, i'm pretty new to tc3 scene and it's my 1st shaft drive, really like the car, it's different driving style and i still need to get used to it since i've been driving belt drive cars for quite a while. So far having problem adjusting the throttle control, i suspect maybe the servo horn position makes my throttle so twitchy, how the throttle horn suppose to be? Can anybody help? Thanks

hi ttso:
Regarding the mugen .8 clutch, I was told that it does not work with the NTC3 stock pinion gear. nor the spur gears. U need to buy the Mugen .8 gears. Also, I was told that the mugen pinion gears are thicker than the NTC3 pinion gears. One of the pinion gears may hit a spur gear. U need to sand 1mm thickness off that pinion gear.
Hope this helps.

AAA Battery?
Another question,
I'm consider using AAA battery pack on NTC3 to save weight. In addition, I will use 2 9550 servo on it.
But since AAA battery is much lighter than recommanded battery pack and 9550 is also much lighter than other servo. Will this cause car heavily unbalanced to the left (engine) side because all the weight saving is on right (rx) side?
Thanks.

if you use another 9550 and 2/3A, your radio side will be WAY lighter then the ENGINE and PIPE side........
Eventually, you will have to ADD weight like ELECT TC.........but I don't think we can tell untill you drive it and let use know...
But I think weight is NOT an issue in NTC3...and should not be too much concentrated on.
