Yes it was. Then you specified a 3mm top deck if you wanted to race on carpet.
Anyone have a mint eTC3 conversion in black or Ti? I am looking to build up a car like the one I ran at the 04 ROAR Carpet Nats-man that car was stupid fast. I have a doner TC3 ready to go with a super free drivetrain, TRF shocks, etc.....

I need a stiff carpet TC4.

That's what alot of people are desparating wanting out fo the TC4. I like the thought of a 3mm upper deck and chassis. OR at least the option of buying one.

Guys running on assphalt, can just take out all the standoffs.

Jason after talking to all my fellow TC4 racers...

we agree that there is a market for some good diff outdrives. Maybe some spring steel ones.

Im not sure what performance advantage could be had over the IRS (lite-drive) out drives...."aside" from making them out of something even lighter like the high quality delrin that Jason is considering......

Well, I hope Jason will consider making....

some good delrin outdrives. I know now, I sick of the plastic ones. I.R.S. ones are not cheap and you have to install pin cusions. I may try the Pal ones when their version II comes out.
