I guess I will have to cut some slits on the body to let the points on the shock tower come through to let me sit the body correctly, but my biggest concern is that the rear wheel well does not center with the rear axle/wheels.








Also, Take a look at the small bearing to the left of the servo turnbuckle. Do you guys remember it being in the kit? / I can seems to find it in the instructions and I am afraid I missed it.. or maybe it belongs to something else and got mixed in with my kit parts.




Thanks guys, I cannot wait to run my car... just need to work out some little kinks. I also have several silver spacers left over anyone know where they go?

That tiny bearing is to your steering setup there should be a total of 6 bearings in the steering.

there are 8 used. 6 for steering and 2 for the belt tensioner.

look at page 9 of your manual and page 15.

try the carbon rear tower first.

battery is secured by tape?! REALLY?! WHY!?!?!? use supports to secure the battery AND make a stiffer chassis! OBVIOUS engineering flaw!

re: wheelbase discrepancy... what does your wheelbase measure to?

you can fiddle with the spacers on the hingepins to affect wheelbase


also... what setting have you used on your the hingepin split blocks & rear?

they can be set as "1A" or "1XA" - if you've gone 1A wheelbase is longer

May I know what's wrong in having the battery secure by tape? I see most of the high end tourings are using fiber tapes to secure the car. Why a stiffer chassis? Have you tried this chassis?

Sorry for asking so many questions, I just bought a ta06 pro and want to get a graphite chassis

My tc6 the battery is secured by tape and it works great.

I like the tech racing ta06 chassis I've seen but I don't know where to get it. I would like to find one like that.

Anybody know where to get one?
