So we had our first Onroad race for the winter season and it was great for VTA, Not soo good for 1/12th
But I was still struggling with rear traction. So I actually slowed doen my steering using exp. and Wow What a difference.
Just slowing it down helped soo much. Might still be too soft on the springs or oil if the front end is diving that much in a turn to break the rear wheels.
Going to test that theory next week. going up a set of springs and oil in the shocks.
I love this car. The feeling of the rip out of the corner compared to all of the belt cars is awesome!!!!

Opps I forgot to mention that I DID come in first 
But Only because the lead guy made a few mistakes near the end.
It was a great Race. 10 min and I led the first 1/2 then got tied up with another car (after lapping it 3 times) but worked hard at staying clean and got the lead with one min to go.

I just got two used TC4s and was wondering if anyone makes a gear diff for this car. I know, a gear diff cannot be quickly adjusted without removing it and changing oil, but I don't like fussing with ball differentials.

does anyone know where I can get my mits on a one way for the tc4?

There no known gear diff for the tc4 but, you always can try to fit the smallest gear diff out there... As for a oneway, it will not be fast enough....

Just finished soldering my new 13.5t ballistic. 1420g with tp3200 40c (208g)... Still heavy, but I'll run it like that....

I have a dilemma. I have 2 team kits and 1 factory team kit. I want to settle with 2. I was thinking of selling my factory team kit, but it looks pretty. I mostly run outdoors too so I don't know. :/

Keep the factory team kit and one team kit only... The other team kit can be stripped for parts to fix the other two....

how do you guys tape in your batteries? Do you buy a battery tape or do you make your own? Do you fold it together or what? I really don't understand how you guys tape in batteries hahaha

I don't use tape , just the rtr brace on my team kits , and the tc5 diggity design brace on my FT tc4's . If you want to use tape, I guess you can wind it around the chassis battery holes .... Anyway, I just upgraded my Novak HV to tekin RX8 in my 4S tc4, and lost some weight in the process: 1721gram now . It should be a bullet, can't wait for summer time !!!
