i got my TC5R the other day and i save the shocks for last to build. so last night i went to finish them up but im running into a problem where the caps dont thread on all the way. i have the foam car and those cap thread down all the way. these ones maybe only half way. any ideas?
I am waiting to hear what the problem is and waiting on resalution from all the caps I bought....

in AE defence, they were quick to send me new caps for the trouble. I sent in all my defected caps....

Is the rumor true that the TC5 has been discontinued.
The guys at the track said it was, I have a feeling they are wrong.

Hey all, just picked up a used FT TC5 for my son and am looking at the Exotek Lipo Chassis conversion with the extra flex top deck. We're running rubber tire carpet and I've been out of the Touring game for a while. I did some digging in the thread regarding the Exotek chassis, is it worth it?

I think it is. I like mine just because of how well it holds the lipo.

exotech chassis
what i like about this chassis ....way lighter ...moves the batt and electr. closer to center line.I would take a tc5r top plate and cut a groove down the middle about 3mm this works great for rcgt and vta

Has anyone found that with less grippy tires, the car performs better?

Probably depends on the surface, and I already race on low-bite asphalt so less grippy tires is seem less noticeable as I'm already setting up to try and get as much grip as possible. My current 10.5 setup with well used tires on low bite asphalt get tire squealing

mind sharing your set up? As I'm going to try out 10.5 as I have been racing 17.5 for three quarters of a year already on a low to mid grip sort of technical track.

The whole thing is a nice setup but if you wanted you could get the top plate first and try that as it has a lot more flex than stock and can be used with the stock chassis.
