I tried moving the front shocks in one, but
it was softer and gave me more steering that I didn't want.
I went to 1 1/2 degree of rear toe to free it up in stock, but it didn't have enough bite. So I went back to 2 degrees. May be different with d-pinks.

Droop? Not sure. I set the droop in the front by adjusting the top of the sping so that it's just touches the shock collar and the rear about 1mm from the shock collar. This seem to be spot on for me.
The car really seems to be hooked up for me now, but I'm always searching for something better. I tried 6 degree caster blocks and I liked it better, but that was without shims. So I'm undecided on which was better. The pros say stick with some anti-dive and some anti-squat. I still somewhat new to tunning and I can't tell much of a difference between the 4 and 6. One thing I do want to expirement with is bump steer. Does this give more steering? If so, I don't need any then.

RcKnight,
We are running a setup something like yours but with white and purple springs. But this weeking in Ohio, we got some help from a local and he wasnt running any shims under any of the arm blocks at all. I found this kind of strage but it worked pretty well. I thought the rear end need to free up just a tad more, but all in all it was decent. I just have one question about the front swaybar? Why on the front? O and how much droop did you run on that setup?

Check out the CML site, I've put up Richard Barton's setup for Watford running T27's on Carpet. Might be a good place to start?

Can someone lmk if there is going to be a rtr tc4 coming out soon. I am mainly a MT guy but would like to get into TC and well I just don't have all the money right now to build up a nice tc4. But I like the support ae gives to there cars in way of al the after market parts you can get. So I would like to start off with an rtr car then build it up to a team car or better.
Thanks

Ok, no problem.
hope to hear from them soon
one thing (to the rest of you) have any of you had any problems with motor clamps cracking?
i tightened mine down (not fully) and it cracked accross the lug where the none springy screw goes. i'm not the only person as i know someone else that has had this happen...near same crack line to. i'm thinking its a dodgey batch (we bought our tc4s at a similar time) with a batch of dodgey motor clamps....it still works like, my motor isn't going anywhere but its nice to have a complete motor clamp
anyone?
