I also wanted to buy ti outdrives if they're cheap enough and easy to get here.

My rear outdrives already started wearing down, wonder how long it will last. And need new tires too.

I guess, I can use ti ones for practice and composite for the race, since people don't like them for being too heavy.

I tried different springs in the rear to solve the loose rear problem.
For some reason, stiffer springs worked the best.

Indoor parking log, smooth cement covered with lots of dust.
Front 50wt, red
Rear 40wt

I think I geared down too much.
10x2 caliber
20/72 (too low?)

Motor gets pretty hot and seems too much torque.
It's fun watching it accelerate fast though.

BTW, I'm very new to TC, so correct me if I'm wrong.
Only have 2 track time on my belt and my very first racing time yet to come.

This thing is really hard to drive because only one switch controls both steering and brake not like real cars or computer games.
Such as Colin McRae rally 2.0, my most favorite game of all time.

Need to work on the control I guess.

Steering to braking and back to steering fast.
Need to easy on the throttle, 'cuz TC3 accelerate very fast.

Any suggestion for newbies on controling guys?

While I was trying the setups at the parking lot, I almost hit a guy walking by, I didn't see him and he didn't see it and surprised hell of it. Everybody else laughed a lot though.

He said 'hit the wall'. haha.
