Hey guys,

I have also had problems with the ball stud and the spindle. On new graphite piece's I could screw the ball stud in by hand..

My solution was to drill two holes in the spindles and use 4/40 set screws.

their is enough meat on the spindle to do this,

reasemble it all and tighten down the set screws.

(the set screws will lock down the ball stud and the bottom screw)

they wont come loose again..

If you have some old stripped out ones,you can repaire the spindles with 4/40 heli coils, (their a thin steel insert with threads) these will also cure the above..

you can buy the kit from a any good tool shop.

HI guys can someone help pick what inserts to try on parking lot track probably not going to spray nothing on track..or they might not sure?

I will probably run sorex 24's and if anyone has a good starting set-up let me know?

thanks

johnbull

The Sorex Type A medium insert, or the Schumacher Grey insert both work well on our TC3s with Sorex 24 or 28 tyres.

I suppose it all depends on your track.

Just see what other quick guys are running.

depends too on the weather conditions.if it's cool outside go with the 24's, if it's warm outside,not too cool not too hot use the 32r's and it's really hot out side and the track temp is above 100 use the 36r's. With all 3 I've used HPI red inserts, green on some occassions, both work well.

Alternative to Sorex. Take off tires. I brought a full set of cs22, rims, inserts and tires (all 4 mounted) for $25.00. They don't last longer than the sorex, IMO, but they hook up str8 out of the package.

anyone know who has the new arms in stock.

Thanks.

max428

need your help guys!!!


i'm having problems with my spur gear. what's the correct setting between the spur and pinion? wats the ideal distance?

Mike F

Hey Max428 - cut a piece of paper and place it in-between the spur and pinion, then mesh them together. Tighten the motor clamp down so that the pinion wont move. Now take the paper out, slowly. If if doesn't tear your good to go, if it does, loosen the motor clamp a little and slightly back off the, the pinion against the spur that is.

Hope this helps.

NTC3NUT,
What is different about the new rear arms?

Peter Busch

The new arms have two shock mounting holes in them so you can use the rear shock tower on the front. Look back a couple of pages for more info. Nobody up here has them yet.
