Are you aware that SS screws are less than half as strong as the 12.9 high tensile screws included with the TC6? I wouldn't use them for anything load bearing. Actually I wouldn't use them at all; they're just as heavy but more prone to bend and have the heads strip.
12.9 Yield Strength = 1100
SS Yield Strength = 520
12.9 Yield Strength = 1100
SS Yield Strength = 520
A common question is whether stainless steel is stronger that a grade 5 or grade 8 bolt. Stainless commonly comes in grades 18.8 (304) or T316. Stainless steel bolts are rated for corrosion resistance. Bolt strength is rated in PSI (pounds per square inch). A stainless steel bolt has the same PSI rating as a grade 5 bolt (125,000 PSI). A grade 8 bolt has a stronger rating with a PSI of 150,000.

New setup posted
I have posted Keven Hebert's Xray Challenge setup from West Coast R/C Raceway. For the racing the Reedy Race of Champions later this month, this is the setup that the team drivers will begin with. It should also be good on most high-traction surfaces.

hi all i got a 10.5T brushless motor for my tc6 and i tried to use kawada 64p spur and pinion gears but i fount that they dont really fit, if i am to use 48P gears which brand and how many gears for spur and pinion would u guys suggest?

As for pinion size this really depends on the FDR needed at your track, for a boosted 10.5 motor the FDR should be around 8.0-7.5, for no-timing a good starting point is around 6.0-5.5 (those are just starting points, the exact FDR depends on track size, motor/esc brand, esc settings, etc.)

It's a 3 hole piston, 2 holes are drilled to 1mm and one to 1.5mm
Here is a comparison chart between various pistons

which brand of pinion gear can be used in TC6? tried kawada seems to long....

Yes the chassis can tweak without breaking, but likely you have a bulkhead or motormount, or possibly a bent screw somewhere. You'll need to loosen everything from the bottom (also top deck) and check that it goes back to flat, then tighten 1 thing at a time and keep checking to find the problem. Also tighten the top deck last, it can also cause the tweak.

would the end side of the gear rub against the front belt? this is what is happening to me... i have already lowered the front spool...it is still the case..........i am using kawada 46 pinion and speedmind 100 spur

Is it just me, or does the Protoform LTC-R 190mm body not fit this chassis?
I just finished painting mine,and its too short in the wheelbase..
Lucky i had a Speed 6 lying around.
