The steel CVD have a little chatter, but they are more strong, to reduce it a little, advice to remove the set screw and use the universal axle pin cover http://www.hotbodiesonline.com/products/en/68759.html

Thanks dude, I've made use of the method in the past but unfortunately doesn't do much. Definitely reduced the chatter effect but when I use the normal uni drive I have to tone down the turning travel to at least 65% to completely eliminate the chatter. Which is fine when i'm messing around on a non technical track but anything else that extra 35% of travel makes a huge difference. Should just get myself a TT01 again lol, coz as much as I can remember the TT with the stock dog-bone setup didn't chatter at full lock what so ever and it sure as hell didn't cost $30 odd bucks to replace each corner and it had a 5.5T with a spool at both ends.

Hi,

Does anyone make any specific lipo holder's for the TCX other than the the kit (67841) (5) ? at the moment I'm using 4 (67841) (6), two by the belt and two at either end.

Or will this be on a new chassis

so the HB TCX only give the option of the spurs in the range of 110T - 116T
what other spur gears will fit the TCX?? will xray/AE/any other companies??

and for a 17.5 rubber BOOSTED class what spur and pinion should I run?
right now i have a 115t spur and a 34t pinion.

Xray will fitt, I am driving it now and have done it for a year or so, you will onley be abel to fitt 2 screws but that is OK

FDR of 6.0-6.5 should gve a good range for 17.5 boosted

110-113 spur should get you in that range

I currently running a 113 spur and 35 pinion 6.30FDR 17.5 D3

im at the moment running the 115 spur and a 34 pinion and that gives me a fdr of 6.60 but i will switch to the 36 pinion and that gives me a fdr of 6.23

another question with 17.5 fully boosted should i run a heat sink and a fan on the motor or will it not get to hot??

depends on what your temping now. I run a fan and heat sink just for extra cooling. If you run a fan, make sure you get a good one.

question... I am actually working on building the new CEFX evo sedan and it uses a sliding rack steering system like on the AE TC3, I know that the Tamiya 416/417 steering system fits but I would rather run the Hot Bodies one. I just don't know the spacing between the two pivots and the length of the steering arms part HBS68735 http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...eering-Arm-Set

If someone could help me out with those measurements that would be appreciated, thanks.

Yes they will.

Same width as the 416.

ShaunMac

Distance between the two pivot mounts is ~29mm. Length of arms ~17.5mm.

These measurements are from center of screw to center of screw.

Thanks for the help

I'm thinking of putting my TCX back on the track, what upgrades or hop-ups should I think of buying?
