now let's see after having all 3 kits did i ever go around any thread to bash other cars???i wonder if you ever did own a tc3

Finsy

one more for TRF...hope u aint faint hearted

Finsy

sir - it isnt a secret at all...i just did it on all my kits from express swauger/414m2/cuda ...i just like the feeling of the stiffer support the front end has using trque rod....some ppl says it does help on getting more steering...i'm not sure though...i'm pretty much new to rc ....try it and tell me what you feel by putting a torque rod...your feedback would be really appreciated as i'm always trying to learn more new stuffs bout setups

I guess I have to agree with you, personally the torque rods seem to help me. I have it in my 04-R and used to have it in my Pro3.

Could you please explain what and how you did it? ARe you using stock AE C hubs?

Finsy

lem2 - i used a torque rod for Express kit and also very short turnbucles with Kawada short captured ball cup...hope this picture helps...if not just ask away

That will change the geometry of the front arm. . .making it a semi-trailing arm and would make more backward caster as the suspension is depressed. . . the way it looks (slightly slanted upward) it would decrease the amount of caster slightly as the arm moves down. . .

How do you find it affects your steering? The car's behavior?

finsy i own a wcr and have driven other peoples tc3 and there just isnt any comparison the wcr just pisses it right up.

also ive tried torque rods and gives less stering due to increase in caster and changes suspesion geomatry when the ride height changes.
i personally dont like toque rods.

Boomer

trf - so go talk on THAT forum.

Wouldn't those torque rods cause the suspension to bind up because the rod is trying to pull/push the c-block backward/forwards and the c-block doesnt move that way because of how it is hinge pinned to the a-arm. I suppose it could work depending on how much slop there is in the joint where the c-block and a-arm are hinged. Just curious...

cracker-as the suspension rolls it can begin to ben the c-hub slightly. there is also a possiblity that it can bind the suspension too. i have seen that happen with torque rod set ups.

i say we ignore this trf racer, he will go away just like all the rest of the flamers that come on these forums, none of them every stay for long.

trf racer

spastic iam here to stay
cracker78 they can bind as the suspension moves up and down but even if it doesnt it still changes the geomatry.

TRF,

If you are going to persist in being a pain in the backside:

AT LEAST YOU COULD BE LITERATE!!!

I think mommy has your bottle warmed up for you. It's even got the new fluorescent yellow green nipple on it just like you wanted....lmao...you're a joke!

Sweet ride Finsy ... I think the IRS chassis looks so trick ... I have thought about switching, but haven't as of yet ...

I was going to ask you about the bracing (torque rod) in front but I see that it has been explained ...
