Running full sauce on all 4 tires. 1* toe out front, 2* toe in rear. Rear diff is not tight, but not loose either. I loosened as much as I think I can and not have the car pull too much to the left. The looser that rear ball diff is, the more it pulls to the left on power.
5.5mm ride height front and rear, front spring AE Silver and 40wt 2 hole piston, rear spring AE Green 30wt 2 hole piston. I don't think I'm bottoming out on every turn.

avidrc.com provides some nice bearing at a cheap price

I can change the front shock oil from 40 to 35 to soften the front. That should work with silver AE springs right ?
Ive checked and oiled or greased all wheel bearings and both rear diff side bearings but havent opened up the front spool or its bearings.
Anyways... changing to a front ball diff...... not a bad idea ???????

Alright guys I pulled the trigger on the tc4 club racer. Should I upgrade anything? I'll be running 17.5
I used to race a tc4 when it first came out years ago. Got out of the hobby for many years then got into running offroad. I got the tc4 for occasional carpet and parking lot racing, just having fun.

The front ball diff will add TONS of steering from the middle of the corner to the exit and will probably be pretty hard to drive without some other changes to go with it.
This is a vta car right? If so start your camber at 1 degree front and back.

Found some at a shop here in Canada, thanks though.
Also ordered up a Diggity chassis today, apparently the 4 he has left come with a new narrower deck.
Looking forward to trying the new setup when it arrives, need to shave off some time to catch the 'new' cars on track.

Can't wait to get on track!
I ordered the threaded blue shocks off eBay and have the dremel on standby to modify the chassis

Onroad newb here looking to make my VTA maiden voyage on an asphalt track with a long(ish) straightaway--25.5 motor.
Reading through the thread it sounds like a 4 FDR is a good starting point. To reach that with the 72 stock spur I'm looking at a 45t pinion, which sounds ginormous to me.
I'm hoping to get away from the math and test the car, but I need some ballpark 48p pinion recommendations (the biggest I have is a 28t).
