Yeah, I think I'm just going to do the zip tie thing. Extending the wires seems like a good idea, but I all about keeping it simple. Since I'm planning to race my TC5, I'm happy to hear that the balance isn't thrown off by having the module up a little high on the motor wires.
Thanks

Does anyone have a good place to mount a ESC power trans cap module on a TC5? You can't put it on the top plate because the belt is there and you can mount it on the chassis because these is not enough room. Any help, including pictures of your TC5/ESC setup, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

If you running a 13.5 sensored with a sensorless speedo it will hesistate off the line on initial hit of the throttle and cog.

hey i just got my tc5 and i am wondering what a good starting point might be for the belt tension numbers. it seems that most people use the a cam. i am putting a 7.5L in it. what would be the prefered pinion to run with the 87 t spur?

This TC5 is starting frutrate 
me a lot and maybe someone out there can help me out. How can this car have a decent run during practice and the first qualifier and then turns crappy in the second, third, and final round? Now for the second, third, and the final round I just change the tires due to the track temp getting hotter. The cars starts hooking around and this is where all the settings are checked such as Tweek, camber, Diff, etc. prior to the run. I see other TCs not making any changes, except for tires, and just checking there settings and are fine for the whole day. So what gives with this car???

to keep your final drive between 4.5 and 5.0 you would need a 34 to 37 tooth pinion but if your running a 7.5 turn motor i would say in the range of a 23 tooth to keep the temp down. anyone please feel free to correct me if i am off on that as gearing is not my best issue.

What type of temperature variation are we wtalking about here? I run my car on sorex 32s in all weather condition here in the uk and have never needed to change from a warmer/cooler tyre.

i just got a tc5 and have been having problems with the rear shocks leaking out all the oil what is the tip to stopping this?

Yeah, and the black washer. I started test fitting the black washers in the bodies before I put all the parts together for final incertion. I had a couple I didn't clean the burrs off of and wouldn't seat all the way...

Been running this chassis for a while now.
Most recently i raced at a new club, I had never been there. Arrived late, had to put motor in etc after skimming it and rushed to make the 2nd qualifier. Despite a lack of grip (everyone was running additive and softer tyres) I still came second out of five on a new track against the regulars.
The car just maintains feeling dialed in and its very easy to set up
Strong too! I got hit and the car flew about 6 feet up, landed on its roof, rolled over and kept going. Probably tweaked the chassis, but it was not handling any different after so I may have been lucky.
