Wallstreet- Check the servo saver, make sure it is tight. If loose it can cause loss of control. Also, try to isolate the problem as to the front or back of the car by removing the shaft, diffs, or dog bones. Test the car in 2wd rear, 2 wd front, and see if you can isolate it to one end of the car.

Hope this helps.

Can anyone answer this for me - on a stock TC3 setup, if you push the front of the car down, should you be able to make the chassis touch the track?

Not that I'm aware of... It depends if you are pushing with littleor no force. If it takes a lot of pressure ( and the none of the wheels are off the ground ) then it should be al right. If not then that means the car is bottoming out and control of the car is now in the hands of the car parts owner and the local hobby shop..

Thanks for the reply. It takes quite a lot of pressure, so I'm guessing that its normal. I actually have two TC3's but the other one has Tamiya TRF shocks fitted and it feels completely different, so I don't have much to go on. The TC3 I'm asking about was set up by the previous owner for carpet, and was super stiff. I just put some softer springs in it, and was surprised that I could push (firmly) on the front and the chassis would bottom out.

Will the TC4 top bumper brace number AS2225 fit to the TC3? If so how?

Thanks PaZ

Hi all, I'm just getting back into racing after a 2 year hiatus. I used to run stock and mod with my TC3s.

I had lots of trouble running composite or aluminum bones with a oneway in mod, so I had to upgrade to steel. Does anyone know if *19-turn power* will require the same "beefyness" with a oneway?
