Hi!
Thx for your statement!
Now I have some other questions .Is it better to use the Long RPM ball cups or are the short ones ok too?
Are also the lunsford hinge pins recommendable or are the polished ones from associated ok too?
Could somebody tell me, why I haven't seen the top drivers like Barry Baker oder Juho Levanen taking the hot motor out of their car, or do they?

When using the long Ballcups, you can not use them for the steering linkages, only camber tierods will fit these cups. You could cut the RPM cups to fit the shorter tierods, but slightly less durable.
The Factory Team hingepins seem to slide easier, and bind less. I do not know if Lunsford makes hingepins for the TC3....
The drivers might leave the motor in because it is hot? Maybe for another race, leave the car on a fan, then pop it out? Not sure...

Question
This Question has probably been asked a billion times, but i am going to ask anyways. I want to calculate the speed of my TC3. I was trying to do a Distance divided by time equation. But i know i am missing something, something like the weight or friction. Can someone help.

Schumacher makes ballcups that work VERY well. They are grey in color, long and thick like the RPM cups, but are thinner at the top of the cup for wheel clearance. Since Schumacher builds all of thier cars to metric proportions, the cups fit metric balls. When placed on our SAE balls, on a TC3, the "grippa" cups are very tight, hard to put on (or pop off), but very free and non-binding.
As far as turnbuckles go, Lunsford should be your choice. The AE turnbuckles look pretty, for those of you who like a "factory car", but the Lunsford turnbuckles come with a bend/replace policy. If you bend 'em, you either need to whoop the A$$ of the dude that hacked ya, or start racing in open parkinglots. But at least you can send the bent one in, and get a new one back, for the cost of shipping. As a side note, the above mentioned items combined make for a VERY solid link from hub to shock tower. Matter of fact, a good friend of mine bent an aluminum hub carrier, before the Lunsford turnbuckle/grippa ballcup gave way.

I agree with Dave. The Schumacher ball cups are excellent and a good fit for the TC3.
I fit them on almost all my customer cars.
Definately a recommended mod.

It's not the car. It's the driver and how you set the car up.
