Well, this is in the rear that I am having the problem. I have a slipper spool up front though and I havent broken a single blade yet.

I have a brand new chassis (opened but never used), a brand new top deck (unopened) and a used chassis.

I'll sell it all for $75.

That's strange. On the extremely rare occassion (once in the last year) that I broke a blade it was one of the front ones. I've seen others with spools break at the front as well but not that often and it usually takes a hit that pops ball cups or breaks arms to break the blade.

Is your axle shaft running true? Are your diffs mounted at an extreme? Really low or really high so the axles are running at more of an angle than stock.

The shaft seems to be fine.. and the diffs are mounted at the kit setting. I think I'm gonna swap axles left to right though and see what happens..

I had the same problem. Even with new outdrives.

Maybe you could use the X-Ray blades or you try the TC6 blades. I have the feeling that they are made of the hard plastic. Until now I had no problem with the blades on my TC6.
For my TC5 I had enough after some weeks and switched to TitaniumRacing parts. Then the problems were gone...

Heh ....

My tc5 is almost 3y, newer change "broken" plastic blade at rear dog bone ...

At front when I put solid axle form AE, yes, it happen at each front tire hit ..



Check bearings, axle (maybe is binding when put new plastic), check
diff outdrives ...

It's really strange ... something is broken/bent and you must find it.

I'm looking for recommendations for a steering servo, make/model, to use on a TC4 and TC5.

thanks

What radio?

Some servos can't work with simple am systems.

But if have good radio, try use:
- futaba S9551 or BLS551,
- ko-propo pds-2413,
- savox is OK with lower price then two servos above.

About servos IMHO S9551 is the best choice that I made.

Does anyone know the part # for the front camber link tie rod. Is it #1401 1.30" or #1414 1.25". http://www.teamassociated.com/pdf/ca..._tc5f_tc5r.pdf Thanks

What is a good starting point for gearing of a TC5, will be racing on a mid sized carpet track, rubber tires, Novak 17.5 motor with no timing advance running a 2c LIPO, also 48 pitch gears.

messing about with the new tc6 steering bellcrank

i found i could fit it to a tc5 by just changung the centre post to the tc5 one

and the tc5 ball cups fit perfect to a tc5 too

Maybe covered already.. I am installing 4 degree Integy caster blocks on my TC5. It seems that the blocks hit the a-arms causing positive camber?? What gives? Anyone else run into this?

The corner speed is competitive if you hit the setup on the point. The car is still fast enough to race against all the other high end TC's.


With the LRP X11 17,5t I start with 4,5 to 5,0. If you have the feeling of beeing to slow on the straight and the motor temperature is still OK you can go below that.
