I bought some Diggity castor blocks and they are very nice. No if it would just quit raining on the weekends in SoCal i could try them!

I've seen batteries launched out of cars constantly with the battery strap where i race. I went to tape and it stopped happening to me

I started with the Juho Snowbirds Feb 2007 setup and tweaked it a little to get rid of the loose in and tight off condition I got with it. It is hooked up now. I shaved 3 full seconds a lap off from when I started with the car. Driving experience mostly but the final 1 was from adjusting the car.

Hey guys, I'm looking to gear my tc5 for a novak 10.5 with lipo for rubber tire asphalt. I understand I'll want a fdr in the range of 4.5 to 5.5 (maybe even down to 4.0?). I'd like to run 64p gears, what size of spur do you guys recommend? I guess it could also be asked as, what's the smallest and largest spur/pinion combo that will still mesh in the motors range of positioning?

hey guys. I need some TC5 help. Well I have the setup that robk posted on my car. I run 19t with rubber tires on carpet. The only change that I made (and it was due to me not knowing any better) was that the wheel base was increased by 1 mm (put the wrong size washer in the front of the arm). Also changed to the aluminum 6 degree castor blocks (problems occured prior to switch as well).
Now I am having tire squeeling problems. About half way through my race, the tires start to squeel around turns. I use Jack the Ripper compound on the entire rear wheel and half of the inside wheel for the front. I am using RP30 tires. Is it a tire problem? Any setup changes that may help.

What changes did you make to the setup... I ran that today and had the same problem. I was great in the sweepers but in the tight corners it tended to be loose in and tight out. It didn't seem to want to turn from the center of the car. I'm using the sandard parts, not the hard.
