Another thing to do, would be to use the red shock o-rings(#5407) on the top deck screws. Use #31531 screws and flat washers. Look at post 3156 for a pic!

The spool pully is just the pully. The Spool kit would be the spool, the pully and the screws to mount the pully.

As far as parts goes, the car is very durable. If you were to have a set of steering knuckles, caster blocks and maybe a set of arms, you should be good.
There are the tuning parts such as caster blocks(0*,2*,6*) and rear hubs(1/2 * and 1*). Then there are shock pistons,springs and oil.

My learning curve has been steep on the TC5.... The first two times out were a disaster... the rear chasing the front... even melted the rear diff... used it to make a spool.
Well I took apart the diffs and retightened them... backed off the front 1/8th and the rear 1/4 and ... .shazam... the car was real good... I need to do a little to get a little more rear side bite... but my lap times (when I didn't drive stupid) were among the lowest of the day.
When the track temps got really hot mid after noon the rear wanted to come around when really pushed ... but otherwise it felt real planted.
Cool
