any tips from the pro's on how the free up their 6.2's for more corner speed and less pushy on a large parking lot track? 
I am running Yokomo yellow front and rear blues with basically the kit setup except for inner holes on the bulkheads for camber links (long link)
Thanks

Also, raise your roll center to 1mm under all mounts. This will increase the reaction time of the car helping it gain overall traction and steering.
Go to short links all around, it will again allow the car to react quicker and switch directions faster.
If you are running the stock rear diff oil, I would try something heavier. I was running 3000cst on a medium grip parking lot and the car felt better than with 1500, which is already heavier than the 40wt I think they suggest. So heavier should help.
The last couple of adjustments would be adding about 1 more mm of shims to your steering for a more aggressive corner entry and shortening your wheelbase in the rear and/or front. For a smaller turning radius and better low speed steering.

They're certainly a good thing for tracks that run boards. With curbs or dots servo saver isn't needed. With that said, I run them on my cars as well, although I'm not sure if they actually help mitigate breakage. Today's servos certainly are not going anywhere and I probably run them more out of habit that anything. Note, offroad does not use them.
BTW your cars look good and nice camera work.

Makes sense, thanks for that and your comments on my cars! I'm just getting back into the 1/10 competitive car scene and have a lot to learn.
Some of you here have the car setup down to a science!
So I ended up going with another RS Gen 2 ESC and a 13.5 Redline to try the Super Stock Class... I was so wanting a RSX, but our track isn't big enough for modified, and I can't see myself really running in that class at big open events... Walk before I run

Rear Diff Clearance
Hi I am new to RC and have just built the TC6.2, and have notice the rear diff spool is almost touching the chassis, is this normal?

Hey guys!! I've been around on road for a long time , stepped away about 10 years ago possibly longer! I used to be into 1/8 on road and 1/10 touring (carpet). I purchased the 6.2 around Christmas or New Years, and have been pleasantly surprised, so I decided to upgrade a few things! I know there's nothing wrong with the gear diffs, but I saw a pic, which I can't find now, and it had a white gear differential housing, I'm not sure if it was on a 6.1, or 6.2, but I guess that doesn't matter considering the similar drive trains! I just wanna know if anyone knows what car they came from, and also what manufacturers have differentials that fit into the Associated machine? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I went through all 80+pages trying to find the post, with no luck!

Gents,
I felt compelled to put together a build tips video over the course of my latest build. Mostly for fun I suppose, but nonetheless I hope some find it useful. Check it out, like, comment, and share.

My rear ball cup on the right side kept getting knocked out of whack almost every run, simply change the ball cup and be sure to slowly thread the new ball cup onto the turnbuckle.
The threads on the Associated turnbuckles are not very deep so knocking them out of whack is only a matter of time. There are heavier turnbuckles, balls and ball cups out there if the problem persists.
