Team Associated TC5
#9796
If it's a pic of a team drivers car, it might be something that they could be testing. Or maybe they're white because someone is trying the yokomo diff pulleys. I'm pretty sure the front belt off the Yokomo car fits the TC5, why not the pulleys too? Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.

White spur : if i'm not wrong, the pulley at the world were white. So if i refer to Juho's setup, i'ts 38 tooth pulley (VS 40 tooth on the black).

The o-ring on the top plate help to get extra flex and therefore helps on low bite situation.
As far as the ball stud on the tower mount, its something we wanted to try on asphalt since it was the first big asphalt race of the season. We went back and forth testing and laptime were the same. the longer links makes the car roll more and makes the car easier to drive but can get too lazy.
As far as the pulley, they are 38 and 22 in the center, It just changes the internal ratio. only rick ran them while the rest of the team ran the std pulleys.

Can anyone recommend a good setup sheet for med traction asphalt for the tc5r? Primarily running 17.5 for RCGT but may toss in the 13.5 for super stock occasionally. Thanks in advance.

[QUOTE=Josh Hohnstein;5922933]This is the best I have found to date.
Josh,
Would this setup work well for 17.5?

Rick or anyone at AE who can answer,

Can we hope to see the motor modification available soon ?
Thanks.

This setup seems to lock the car in and can make it feel ore comfortable. I ran mine both ways back to back to back and felt that the overall speed was the same but that that standard link felt more responsive so that is what I ended up with.
This is an easy modification to make with a Dremel. You just need to take a bearing cap and grind it so that it is flat so that it accepts the ball stud flange.
I used o-rings on the front of ther rear bulkhead and the rear of the front bulkhead.

I have built a car for RCGT and I am going to start with the Juho'08 Worlds setup.

Juyho Worlds TC5
You might have to adjust droop. I ran this same setup at the Reedy Race 09 except I went to droop 6F 5R and the shocks mounted on the inside hole on the rear arm.

Keven H mentioned the sizes already. The intent of this modification was to change the ratio for better gearing of higher turn motors like 17.5. We tried them on modified and while they did not seem to make a difference, they happened to be on the car when we were Worlds testing so they stayed. The other drivers have gone away from them but since the last time I raced TC was the Worlds, I still had them on my car.
Good eye! I suppose I should ask evryone this question - Would you be willing to buy a bulkhead and enlarge the motor hole on the chassis yourselves? Otherwise a new chassis would be required which which would increase the cost of the modification significantly.
Christer Andersson has been using extra long ball links with great success by modifiying the diff bearing caps. The ball link replaces the lower shock tower mounting screws. You just need to add a locknut on the opposing side to hold the shock tower.
