Chassis and topdeck are from Exotek racing. I have modified the front bulkheads, To get more flex to the front end. Shock towers are original only camholders (shocktower mounts) are changed to get new adjustment for the links.
The rear customized bulkheads (motor more towards the centerline) are only for because weightlimit is 1350g to get all electrics as close as possible to centerline and still get the car balanced.
I was racing in rebellion race - Indoor Ec warmup (weight limit was 1400) with original b-heads 'motor out'.. I like the original bulkheads more because they make the car more smooth..
I will be answering here if you have anything to ask about the car.

Thanks for clearing up a few of the things on the car, as far as the front driveshafts are concerned... are those the Xray ECS dirveshafts? If not what are they and where there any other modifications necessary to make them work?

Thank you!
Yes, I am running Xray double universals front. That is just for less vibration and lilbit more steering when entering the corners.. Im using BD5 steerings hubs to fit them (fits straight to AE caster blocks), also you need to make some space for the ESC's to caster block because xray ones moves in vertical axle so they wont get in contact with caster block. For the spool you need Drill the outdrives first with 6mm drill and then with 7mm to fit the xray ones perfectly.
Keven Hebert uses Losi double universals front with losi parts, I think those are more easier to fit in than Xray.
But i dont see this very necessary. The car is more easy with Associated's own cvd's and sometimes even faster. Just remember to grease them.

Hello Christer
Congratulations, great job
The bulkheads are the UK-Version?
Are the Bearing Cup front and rear of the bulkheads self-made or from UK or Associated Prototyps?
Shock oil and pistons used?
Which arm mounts?
Or better a setup sheet...
Thank's. Philippe

Bulks are UK made, and Cam holders are made in Finland.
You can see the setup from pdf. (:
gigasize.com/get.php?d=o8h8lxy5k3b <--- I think this works better

TC5R kit New at this please help.
Hello, everyone. I am about to build a TC5R kit. I don't want to go through the agony of building it and finding out later about some significant upgrades or build lessons. I would rather know them first. So please help.
If there is a thread you can refer me to that would also help.
Thanks

You can also swap the belts and mount the esc closer to the center.

Anything else I should be careful about or change?

Flipping the belts means to change the order of the belts so that the belt going to the rear is on the spur side, and the front belt is on the battery side. It lets you sit your electronics closer to the centre line but can be problematic unless you get a good lipo retainer.
