You need to use the outdrive blades. Look in the TC5R parts listing for the part number.

Hey guys,
What is the deal with all the different edition TC5's is it just the tires or the springs that come with it to?

The difference is springs, thickness of chassis pieces, stiffeness of suspension parts and a few other things.

Balistic,
It looks like you may be an auto tech like I am, so I was researching this years ago during the hieght of the Shaft vs. Belt debate.
We all know what drivetrain AE uses now....as well as every competitive top level car. That isn't to say it can't work, but when traction is high and the competition is stiff, every little bit matters.

i have a few tire questions for you guys. i picked up a tc5r as my first TC to try out. i will be running rubber jaco tires on a carpet track. traction compound will be jack the gripper. anyone care to explain tire maintenance at the track? do you clean them after each run...if so, with what, when do you apply jack, etc. thanks

The way it was explained to me (I hope I understood correctly) is that the current steering geometry,servo to saver, doesn't have a linear feel. The servo mod takes care of it.

What do you mean by linear feel? You mean it feels like a step up system? As in a delay?

It's tough to explain because I don't feel it on my TC5 (at least I don't think I do). My guess is that it happens because of the angle of the small link between the servo and the saver. The geometry of the that link apparently gives a 'lumpy feel' to the overall steering.
My solution is to set the servo arm perpendicular to the link so that you get an even throw in both directions.
Maybe one of the guys running it at the Nats. will explain it better.

But at our track they use lighterfluid to clean tires as it leaves the tires nice and clean no residue and is very cheap. I clean after each heat while my batteries are charging then I dope them a heat or two before mine.

Help with 31174 Slipper Spool Kit
the screw is not long enough to connect this. When I remove the spring it will reach the nut.
I even used tried the screw from the current diff and it would not work either. It only works with the plastic halfs..
What am I'm doing wrong?
