Hello,
Running a pretty low traction, cold, asphalt track. Anyone got a good starting setup for a TC5R?
Tires? Tire Additive? Springs? Shock Oil? Shock Placement? etc...
I'm thinking a lot of has to do with driving style too... I've got a punchy trigger driving style, and the spx on profile 7 is probably not a good place to be. Maybe i gotta be smoother on the acceleration.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Cold tyres + cold track + off camber corners = alot of sliding, which proves to be interesting.

anyway to tell the hard arms from the soft arms, and also the soft steering blocks fromt the hard?
10-05-2009, 10:51 AM
I'm not 100% sure but typically the harder parts in RC are more gray in color and the softer parts are more black. I haven't compared the Associated stuff with each other to know if this holds true for them though.

Non of my hard parts have a H on them... I know the difference by a very simple yet strange way..
I bit the part
... if it's one of the softer parts you should be able to leave a little mark on it, With ym hard parts I can't leave any mark on them
Just make sure they are clean first

Planning in end of november to get a new chassis.
The idea is to get a TC5 again, I used to have one and loved the car, had some issues with it that now with all the info of rctech and some advise of the top guys in my race club I can be competitive.
My idea is to get the R version, but with some mods on it.
- Exotek TC5 kit.
- Bulkheads to mount the motor more to the centre of the car.
- TRF shock kits TA42102.
- Titanium racing spool.
- RPM heavy duty ball ends.
- Ceramic ball diff with JAAD Racing bearing (have used it in my previous car).
If you guys have some other stuff you consider a good option or if there is something I put on the list that you consider useless let me know.

The harder parts seem to have more of a shine to them then the soft pieces at least for the arms and caster blocks.
