Well, about my adventure was this: my engineer workmate ask me when I go to monitoring in construction place must follow as USA's style, then i switch always my measuring electronic kit to "metric unit" which shown on the display, that's all.
I don't know if this is right, what do you think about it?

US customary system is not exactly the same as imperial, but it's closely related, so people just call it imperial. Metric system is completely different. American cars like associated or losi do not use metric measaurements. TC5's do use metric bearings however.

TC5's also use metric screws....

I am relatively new nt r/c cars and just purchased a TC5. I cannot figure out how to seet droop and how to set ride height. I can set ride height by the screws in the rear suspension arms, but then using the supplied droop tool, the droop changes. How do I set droop and how do I set Ride Height? Please HELP, I am going nuts.

Here some details, some will develop about droop I guess.

use the setscrews in the arm to set the droop, and use the threaded adjusters on the shocks to set ride height. you should never use the droop screws to adjust ride height. use the supplied droop gauge to make sure the droop is even left to right
