Thanks for the info guys. Also I just was informed by my LHS that Ass changed part # to 3978... which might be the Yoko in an AE package a la the NTC3 HD oneway... but who knows.

I believe it has, because they are making a new H.D. one or something, and also you can buy the Yokomo Heavy Duty one.

Check on www.speedtechrc.com they have it

The vibration could be a few things the most common one is your tires are probably out of balance. Just like a real car, unbalanced wheels can cause vibrations. I use an airplane propeller balancer to do mine. They don't have to be perfect but when you glue up tires, there usually is a spot with too much glue or the tired and or wheel them selves will have a heavy spot. Just try to counter the heavy spot with some lead tape. It works nicely.

Hey Stevie,
Put a drop or two of oil in the Diff out drives wher the dog bones
go in. They bind up sometimes and cause the vibrations.

Slowly apply power while holding the car ... does the vibration increase proportionately to the drivetrain rpm? or does it start to vibrate all at once?

Is there any noticable runout in any of the visible parts? For instance, the spur gear or input shaft cups being out of true ...

Remove the drive shaft and apply power ... this will help to eliminate the drive shaft and the front dif as the problem ...

Let us know how these suggestions turn out.

That's odd that your car would turn left sharper than right ... given that the tweak is compensated for of course ...

The TC3 has more steering throw to the right than the left by design, but that does not explain what you are experiencing ...

Have you checked your radio steering end-points? If the end-point settings are messed up you could be physically moving the servo farther left than right.

Do you have access to a set-up board? You could have front suspension asymmetry ...
