Hey, I ran an 8x1 in my TC4 at Speedline a few weeks ago and it was awesome, but the Lake Park track doesn't have quite enough traction to be running a 7x1. lol.

7 turn in off road is a little different than running one in a TC. I run 7's all the time in TC with no problem. Put a 7 in a 2wd buggy, good luck! Check out what motors factory guys are running off road. 11's 12's 13's.

Have fun in the dirt Toni.

Default Our local season finally

We had our local club race finally at Notre Dame Indiana in the Joyce center. The event was part of the "Cavalcade of Wheels" A local car show that has a pretty long history. We ran both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday.. (with one of the fast guys gone.. :-) ) I finally finished 1st place w/my BMI TC3.

when i did the tc4 kit i was shooting for a kit that would be excelent on both carpet and on asphalt.i managed to get great performance on both without changing anything more than just set up.i tested a thinner top plate on the car to increase the flex a little bit but the car became inconsistant.with the 2.5mm chassis and top deck it has a very small amount of flex without having the chassis unload(return to natural position)half way through a turn.this seemed to be more consistant and kept the car from loading up in the corners.if you would like to try a thin top deck i would be more than happy to do one for you.it just didnt work for me.i did move the steering rack to put more ackerman in the steering and it allows you more adjustment if you would like to add more.this actually smoothes the steering going into the corner and makes it more agressive on midpoint and exit.it seemed to work better when adding in all of the other adjustments you can make on the car.im glad you like the car buddy.let me know if you need anything
Jason,

We did a back to back last weekend. Carpet on Saturday, Asphalt on Sunday. The cars were awsome all weekend! It definitely made some people take another look at the TC4. Thanks a million buddy! We're going to run it "as it is" right now.

On another note....will I have to change anything to run the newer (bigger) cells in this car?

Thanks again,

Art and Kathy
