Most likely you need to tighten up the tension a bit.

Verndog,You have a PM.
No doubt a week point in the TC5 design. They need to be hard coated like ones that last more then a month or 2. I've been just letting mine get sloppy and change a couple times per year, I have yet to come up with a way to make them last. The plastic ones will actually outlast the alum ones for stock, I'm considering going back to them.

Yeah, the pricing and the availability of the replacement parts was what made me decide on this chassis. I want another Xray, but you've said it, at $475 I can get almost two TC5R's for one '009EU. Yes, please let me know how you like the offset holder. I will be running this in the 13.5 class and the tracks are going to be medium size/semi technical tracks. The surface will be on both carpet and asphalt with rubber tire setup. Also, the front spool is an optional item or is it included in the kit?

I got to test my setup today with other cars, the was solid the rear end wasn't sliding and causing the car to spin. Took me a month to get it there. I can now drive the car faster and hopefully get it under 20 seconds a lap
This is such a good car, only had it for a month and it's already awesome. The car has been a worthwhile purchase.

I run 10,5T with 64DP. And have an 100T spur installed. With 100T almost all the tracks here in holland that suits me well... The Car rans much smoother and most of all more silence on the track.
My best regards

Sorry I forgot to mention that, the arms are on position A and I use the AE droop tool for checking droop. I've only got the AE droop tool and I got 3 of them.
