Speaking from racing experience...you can use TC3 a-arms with droop screws on an Associated TC3 chassis that doesn't have the "nubs" that were designed for the droop screws.
While this isn't an ideal solution, enough of the droop screw will contact the non-droop screw chassis to make the droop screws effective. If I get a chance to get my hands on my friend's shelf queen TC3, I will show that this will work.
If I still have my original TC3 Racer kit manual, I will post some pics of the shock instructions that show how to install internal droop limiters.

While it is also possible to buy a TC3 chassis designed for droop screws online (ebay for example), often the people selling these chassis are selling them for too much money. I just searched ebay and there is a new in package chassis selling for $45.

I still run my TC3 (was a RTR kit) in the USGT class.

Since we talking about this car
Set-up
Tekin rsx Tekin 6.5 gen3 10* on motor 25* on rsx
Geared 72/29
Ft axles lightened steel outdrives f/r
Foam tires carbon wheels
Motor temps are below 130* no fan
Should I take timing to 0* on motor and control it only by rsx or is this ok?
What’s the right way really?
Thanks
