Putting CA up to the edge of the contact patch of the front tires made the car very predictable. I ended up with 3rd in TC stock A-main at today's club race, my highest placing all year. Previously, the best I could get with my xi sport was 5th in the A's.

Having one of the pins in my rear CVA's not staying in. Anyone know how to keep them in? (It can contact the rear hub and jam the rear tire). Locktite?

Crank down on the grub screw with a 1.5mm driver.

I do this to all new cvd's.

Hate to tell ya has nothing to do with the car. You are just a better driver.

I'm literally an idiot. Why did I not think of that...

I still have my zero with cf narrow chassis so what rear arms would you use?

iTrader: (2)

The arms for the Zero and the Xi look different but have the same geometry. I found the Zero composite arms to be the most durable.

With that said, I am fine with running the composite (not graphite) Xi arms now, and they are the same arms used on the advance.

So does anyone have any insight as to whether or not 3Racing will be producing an aluminum chassis? It seems most of the other current touring chassis have an aluminum chassis option to use on the black carpet most tracks are using now. The stock chassis has a good amount of flex that doesn't seem to work as well on these high traction tracks.

Agreed.

An aluminium option would be nice.

I asked them and they said negative on the aluminum chassis. Too bad, I would have bought the car if they had one.

Hi everyone, I've recently just purchased the Sakura Advance Touring Car chassis kit (it's in transit as we speak) This will be my first on road RC car and my first real attempt at competing at some sort of comp level. For anyone reading this don't panic I do plan to crawl before I try and walk but i'm looking for some advice on a few things. I've read on this forum that the outdrive cups are a little fragile and that a good replacement would be from the Tam 417? would someone be able to give me a part number?

I've also seen a couple of people swapping out the spur gear, I assume this is to give better pinion/spur ratios? I've attached a link to the track I'll be primarily racing at bendigorccarclub.com/about-us/ I'm just wondering if someone could tell me by the footage and info if that's classed as a short or long track? and also maybe what spur and pinion would be worth testing?

I do plan to talk to the guys at the local club but I imagine some of you guys are quite competitive and possibly race at multiple locations, experience counts for everything and some of you no doubt if not all of you have the runs on the board.

I plan on doing a build video as there doesn't seem to be much footage on youtube at the moment.

thanks in advance and a big G'day to everyone on the forum.

Yeah, it is too bad. Maybe we need to wait for Reflex Racing to produce one seeing as they already make one for the XI. Them or some other aftermarket company anyway.

Until an aluminum option becomes available I recently ordered the new SAK-A501_ST 2.5mm Graphite Main Chassis directly from 3Racing. I measured my stock chassis to be 2.3mm thick and this new chassis measured at 2.6mm. It is significantly stiffer than the kit chassis and has been A LOT better at handling the traction at my local track. Still probably not as good as an aluminum chassis, but definitely significantly better than the one from the kit.

Are you able to tell me what size body fits the 3 racing advance 1/10 ? 190 or 200?

thanks
