I'm not about to make any drastic changes at this point anyway. As far as the change from one way back to diff., I still like my diff better on rubber / carpet, but then again I'm pretty damn green compared to pro's like you!..

I'm pushing going into the corner. I have to slow down A LOT to be able to make the turn. Middle and out of the corner has plenty of steering and i can accel out pretty easily. If i could go into the corner faster i think i can lower my times.
I will have to go search for that and let you know but I am sure others will chime in to help.

I'm using the setup that Brandon posted in this thread post #4274 on page 143.

Are you running the 6 deg. castors also?? I'm running 4.
Here is a shortcut to his setup for others to help.

IMO, TC5 seems easy oversteering than understeering with 5cell.

I forgot to add that I'm only running the ITF deck but not the chassis. Yes I'm running 6* castor blocks but I will try and add a bit more droop as you guys suggested. Thanks for the help!

As far as the droop, you may not be able to run anymore droop, I think at that setting the spring was just barely touching the preload collar. You don't want the arm to droop far enough that there's a gap bewteen spring and collar.

I'm building my 3rd tc5 now and this is the funny stuff about it
It's missing som parts and I have moore of some others, like bearing cap, shock bushing, and rear shock tower
the parts that are missing is servo saver spring, arm mount nut
Any one else who has the same experience?

Kropy- Thank you. It was a very good week end. The car ran really good ! I am looking foward to next races.
Tony6187- Changing the diff height can change the way your car handle drasticaly. Moving both at the same time let say from middle high to middle low won't be as big of a change compared to moving one at a time. having a front diff higher than a rear diff will give your car more steering and vice versa.
I never run my diff higher than mid high. I like to run my diff low as it usualy makes my car easier to drive.
