John, I know it was almost a year ago you posted this... thanks! Good to know. I'm relatively new to onroad and have a couple TC3s. I'm going to try the NTC3 steering mod.

there is also a fix for this warping problem a few pages earlier in this thread, it involves making a part though.

Mr Maim-Its been a long time but the TC3 is still a very good car. I like the Nitro TC3 steering a lot better as it does not load up with grit and give you problems near center of the steering. Formerly you would clean the channel sides with the back of an X-acto knife before each race to get rid of the embedded dirt near center.

Believe me, I've cleared my share of rocks out of that steering rack. One rock cost me a servo gear (servo saver didn't help in that one)! So I'm definately going to look around and see if I can find any pictures of how to do it. I have a spare, heavily raced (gouged) chassis that I can experiment on.
Thanks again!

yeah i got my first onroad/carpet car shortly after the new year, happen to get a nice irs tc3 for $140 as a roller with a bunch of tires and a couple bodies.
the tc3 is a great learner car, im probally still going to be racing mine next year, just needs it only little tuning to keep up with xrays and rdxs.
anyone have some tc3 tuning tips? running stock carpet foam.

Setup for Carpet
I would take my posted setup for asphalt and add thick swaybars front and back. Reduce ride height to 5 mm

I don't have Gearing for the Mamba in the touring car. I did run one in a wide pan car for a while.

FDR for TC3 with silvercan
I'm setting up a TC3 for racing in the GT class (any rubber tire and TC chassis, silvercan motor). What will be the fastest FDR without burning up my motor? Or a good place to start. I prefer to run 64 pitch gears, but if you used 48p tell me what worked good for you and I'll do the conversion.

Gearing Silver Cans
This is a recommendation from early in the VTA thread.
running silver cans with 5.7-6.0 FDR

Please Continue in my new TC4 Thread. TC3 questions are fine there.

Tech Adept
FYI everyone, IRS still has parts for the TC3 and most are 50% off. I am out of the aluminum center shaft drive cups but I am considering bringing them back.
