Default Tc6.1 questions

This is my son’s car and he is the mechanic and since he parking lot races and drifts he never complains on its performance.

So I was bored and took a look at it and the first thing I noticed was the front belt seemed too loose to me

It was on 8 so I took it too 16. Still way loose to me so I flipped cams and I’m at 24....the belt feels better but not tout cause I didn’t want it to snap on him.

He is running a Tekin 5.5 geared 80/34 zero timing

I thought about getting him a reflex belt tensioner is it worth it?


On his shocks the silver springs seem stiff but he drifts so I’m not sure if
I should mess with them.. I have a whole drawer of yeah racing springs from 55mm to 60mm shocks I have on my other tc cars.

I think I got green golds and old stock blues.

Also I found out quick how fast those suspension inserts strip too so had to order
New arms to replace what I messed up

Thanks for any help

The Front belt may be streched a bit , I would try new one . If its the original belt and the car had a steady use of a 5.5 motor . I think you are doing ok.

I find that if you drift with a chassis, the parts dont break as much as when you race but the can certainly wear parts out quick
