Question for the set up gurus (maybe Rick H can help me on this one)

The setup im currently running uses a 3 wheelbase in the front, and 2 in the rear (IE, 3mm shim in front of the front arm, and 2mm in front of the rear arm). What would be the effect of going to a 2 in the front, and 1 in the back, keeping the wheelbase the same, but moving the arms forward and relative to the chassis?

From what I can tell as asphalt season nears an end in many areas, people are getting ready for either offroad or carpet season....so they sell. I bought my TC5 a little over 2 years ago, and since have run a second car (007 and 008) and to this day, the TC5 still handles as well if not better then either "luxury car".

I've seen several of our areas better racers go away from the TC5 and then come back and buy another one. As new models come out people want to find the holly grail of sedans, often finding they gained nothing and only lost time and money.

Keeping the arms level, what affects do you have using the three different arm mounts?

You can get pro/anti-dive (front) and/or pro/anti squat doing this will effect castor angles so you wanna check how degrees of dive compared to the castor block. For example with 6 degree castor blocks with 2 degrees of anti-dive will give you a total of 4 degrees castor.

Isn't that what you get when you use different mounts? I mean, if you ran all 1 dot mounts all the way around versus running 3 dot mounts all the way around.

That would just change your roll center.

Scooter is referring to using different dot blocks in the front front and front rear which will give you anti dive or kickup. Same difference for the rear.

Ok, that is what I wanted to know.

It changes roll center.

Thanks

Can anyone give me dimensions for the diff rings or drive rings that are used in a TC5 or TC4. And if they are D-rings???

OD/ID and thickness would be great.

thank you

Thats not what I am asking. In short, im wondering what will happen if you move both front and rear arms forward, but the wheelbase stays the same

Okay guys need some help. I just got the TC5R car and started buying a body some replacement parts etc.

I am also purchasing a Futaba 603FS reciever since I have a Futaba 4pk transmitter.
I also will purchase a Futaba low profile digital servo. Is that okay?

Need advice on the Motor and Esc.

What KV range should I be looking in to get good speed and balance of low end torque. What is a dependable unit with fan. Any thoughts on which units are more efficient with better run times. Mostly club racing, some cobbled together parking lots, mid to long straights quite a few turns and switch backs.

Castle, Novak, LRP --- any brand recommendations also.

Do these electrics require as many holes in body for cooling like the Nitros?

Racing or bashing? If racing, what class?

Thanks for the help guys, thanks joe I appreciate it. I think I am going to just run the diffs. Do you guys think a spool is 100% necessary on carpet? How about a 1 way? Any thoughts...

You wont dig running the diff in the front, look at all the driver sheets from the past few years adn they all run spools...all you need to do is remove the balls and put the slipper pads in...your choice though...You may fight setup if you are following a setup from a spooled car...

Trying to get some people together for parking lot club racing. I don't yet know about classes, please enlighten me.

Couple of more questions popped up, what's a spool?

What tires, by brand and what wheels?


Sorry for all the questions but I'm new at electric. Used to GT2 nitro.
