Quick question- Is there any difference in the TC version chassis and the WCE chassis? I have the WCE and want to put a fresh chassis on it for carpet (current one is pretty beat). Thanks.

Forgot about that. I may hit you up to grab that, just waiting on the carpet track to open locally (running some asphalt right now, but once I go carpet I'm staying that way)

I have been looking at set up sheets and when it points to what i think are the rear pivot blocks (F 1.5 R 1.5) is that two 1.5 deg blocks in the rear making 0 deg toe in?

It's probably a reference to the spacers used under the toe blocks

Thanks. What is your take on sway bars for this type of surface? I'm thinking I will take them off for now.

Anyone got some things to look at when trying to reduce understeer.

Running the same tires as others at the track, the rear seems stiffer than the front.

diff is slipping a little at the moment.

added a little more camber and that helped a little.

just looking for a few ideas

Is there anyway to use a TC5 Ball diff in the rear of the cyclone?
