try adding rear anti squat. FR 3 RR1 will give 2% anti squat.
Has anyone tried some front arm sweep on their TC5? I've been told it will give you more turn in. Right now I have 2 degree caster block on my TC5 and I like the way it drove on most of the track. However, I am looking for a bit more turn in. When I had the 4 degree caster blocks on I had all of the turn in I needed, but when existing a turn my car wanted to keep turning. I was thinking if I add some arm sweep this would help. I won't be at the track for another week and a half so I won't be able to experiment soon.
I have attached my setup if anyone needed more info to answer my question. Thanks!

Man you sure your car isnt tweaked.....Just by adding about a 1/4ounce weight to the R/F of the chassis balanced my car and even without the weight it didnt act that way.....If your car was tweaked it would be loose left and push right or more aggressive one way or the other...

sounds like a similar problem i have. i will be purchasing 4 electronic scales and rebuild the car tonight. im putting back the ITF chassis. what i noticed was the car was uneven causing the car to be tweaked on the track. like you said.. push left, loose right.

ITF Chassis?
Are you guys noticing any major improvements when using the ITF chassis on asphalt?
#4582
I have not ran on asphalt myself....But I have heard guys having better luck w/the ITF top deck and o-ring setup and stock chassis...Are you having a certain problem...Cause I love the car and it seems to get better all the time just wish my driving did....

how can provide a nice picture of the top deck mod to create more sidebite... using the washers and o rings.. and a quick detailed description of how it goes together

My car does the same thing Hook left, push right I have done nothing as far as trying to get the balance yet although this was with a lipo.

I actually don't own a TC5 (or any touring car, at this point) but I'm considering a TC5 for some asphalt racing at Marin Hobbies and am wondering if its worth getting the ITF chassis and top plate.

I am running a 116t spur and 40tooth pinion (64pitch)...I have 1/4 ounce on battery side(right side) right by the front arm....

Man for the money and the availability of parts from almost every LHS you cant beat this car and it continually gets better and better it is not without its flaws but AE has really put together a huge comeback w/this car....I love it and I applaued AE for stepping away from shaft drive and creating such a nice car..............Stop waiting and buy a TC5.......

Your tweaked and goodluck getting it ballanced it will require alot of weights...I think a few pages back you will see a lipo TC5 w/ the batt lined on the side w/weights and top I think ...good luck...
