I have been struggeling to get my tc5 to handle well I had it for a race then it went away could anyone tell me where or what pages to look on to find some good asphalt setups. The track I have been running on it old seal coat wairing off and orange soda for traction. I have tried Rick Hohwart's and don't relly like it.

What is the difference of adding toe in with the hubs or the shims on the rear of the car?
I tried to find over the thread but the search did not find anything.

look back a few pages 3-5 maybe...someone asked that question and did some testing... I recall him stating he hasn't found any noticable handling difference but one method gives you straighter/more inline CVDs which in theory would have less resistance... One may also give you c-hair shorter wheelbase also if I recall correctly...

using some toe in the rear hub will free the car up but can make the car more difficult to drive. I only use rear hub toe if my car is too stuck and I need to get it to rotate better.
I usually run 2.5 to 3 deg. of all inboard toe. When I run .5 or 1 deg. rear hubs, I go to a little more total rear toe. Usually close to 3.5 deg.
I hope the way I explained this is understandable...

If you are asking about 'inboard' and 'outboard' toe...

I usually run 0 deg. rear hubs for rubber tires. When I run foams I run 1-1.5 rear hubs.

How about a site or store that I can find an offset battery tray at and pos. some other special parts.

Maybe eventually. Once demand is met on the lipo chassis.
Ok guys- in stock and ready to ship!!

Quick, give me tomorrow nights winning Mega Million numbers.
Super fast shipping from these guys, and from what I can tell the machining looks great. Not gonna open anything until I get the new bulkheads from England. Can't wait.

Where can I get those bulk heads?

for track that I drive (slippy with low traction). Car lean more in corners.
I try drive with #2 but that was bad idea
Setup from carpet can or can't be good for asphalt ....
Hope this helps :-)

Hey thanks for the really nice TCX kit it was a very noticeable difference. and I didn't even use any lead weights with lipo battery.

Hm, for me arm mounts #3 in upper hole gives higher RC, and it is good
