On the original BMI TC3 chassis, there are holes which allow the TC4 rack to be mounted, but I've noticed that when it's on, the adjustment hole for the servo saver spring is not alligned. I'm not too worried about that, but just wondered whether having mounted the TC4 rack, it will work properly or not in the TC3 chassis?

i was wondering the same thing

Default Protc3...AKA Jason...

any thoughts about converting the TC4 to a TC3 BMI chassis. I like the hinge pin/aluminum toe blocks of the TC4, but I don't like the BMI TC4 chassis. I want my old TC3 back with the TC4 toe blocks. Just a thought.

My dad took the tc3 conversion and modified the tc4 parts (a-arms and carriers) and put them on there... wasn't bad...

I went out to speedline this afternoon before I had to go to work and was able to run a pack through the TC4 with the BMI chassis. W.O.W. It was amazing. The car handled really well and any flaw that was noticeable with the stock chassis just disappeared. I think the only thing left to try now is putting a spool in it. I think that would work well on this layout (almost an exact replica of the tamiya track's layout)

Well I didn't finish as well as I would've liked to...Wait, I didn't even finish... lol. At any rate, the car was dialed. I ran my TC3 for nearly 3 years and never did I get it as dialed in as my TC4 is right now. It's amazing. It goes into the corners really smoothly and is just overall excellent. I don't think I've ever driven as well as I did today. I picked up a whole second from the start of my qualifier to the end. I just hope I can run a little better next weekend at FSEARA race #2 over at Superior Hobbies in Cassleberry.

And Jason, your 1/12th scale runs great, lol.

Default Any chance we could see the X-ray05

chassis? It could get me to make a decision on what chassis I want to buy. X-Ray05 or RDX?

What about the Mi2? The BMi2 is already out. No having to wait and you still get a great car.

Did BMI make a chassis for the 415? Have not been an in sometime and might of missed it. Thought Jason was thinking of making one at one time.
