155 pages and over 4500 posts is a lot to read so this is why I am posting this question, how is the TC5 on carpet? I have heard that there is a lot of chassis flex and this car is more of an asphalt car then a carpet car. Anyone wanna chime in and help me make my choice in a new TC a lil bit easier. Any and all info would be appreciated.

I race 19T foam at our club and I have been more impressed with this car than either of my old Xrays. The car has an amazing amount of steering and the only handling issue I have had thus far is a slightly loose rear end last week (some racers prefer this but I like a tight car). It was only on-power coming out of a sweeper and it was very controllable (I think I will add 0.5 degrees of rear toe). My best lap was almost a half second faster than the rest of the field and I know it will get faster with more tweaking.
I just installed the aluminum outdrives as I did have a problem with the D-rings twisting on the plastic outdrives, but that may have been due to my diffs being slightly loose.
Long story short, this car has impressed me especially since I vowed to never buy another Associated product since I owned a TC4. You will be happy with this car, but that doesn't mean you won't be happy with a T2 '008, MI3, S400, RDX, or any other TC on the market. The only difference is you can get the TC5 and all the spare parts, tuning springs, etc you need for the same price as the "other brands" kits alone.

I dont know why AE not release stiff parts for TC5
#4631
AE are stuck between a rock and a hard place, they either release softer more resilient parts that don't break, then people complain that they are too soft, or they release nice hard graphite parts, then people complain that they break too easy!!

Both soft and hard parts are almost common for big brand

I tried this for an initial set-up and have been happy with it. I have been using Dpink/Dpinkorange and will be adding another 0.5 degrees of rear toe-in (I race 19T).
