HeY!!!
I'm sure they will be testing it out again this weekend at ROAR nats if they do have a new chassis design, etc.

One-way maintenance
How do you maintain your one-way diff? Does it require re-greasing all the time?

YES...I hope so...
I just wish they would say, "AE is currently testing new updated parts for the TC3."

Driven when i used to have a TC3 back in the days of 99-2001 i only greased it the first time i put it in my car and never did after that....i never had problems with it either but im sure it wold be better to grease it more often then i did . . . maybe every couple weeks ?

Can I use motor cleaner to remove old grease out?

chassis balancing
i'm trying to balance my chassis, and its too heavy on the battery side (and about 1/2 pound heavier than ROAR minimum weight), and i've already dremeled the chassis to move the batteries in, and am using the graphite battery bar. any suggestions on hoy to lighten the battery side and balance the car?

Remove the spur gear and dremel some of the stiffening material away from under the spur gear. Use a slighty larger spur gear ( I run a 75 tooth 48p gear instead of 72) This way to get the same gear ratio, you will use a larger pinion as well, therefore moving the motor just a bit more away from centerline, counterbalancing the battery. Thay way you are not adding weight, just re-balancing the weight that you HAVE to have in there.

Carpet TC3 setups. Right i need a better setup than what im running at the moment, i currently run the stock springs and allmost everything at default with some 28mm jaco spec blue foams and the shocks laid right down with the rear tower on the front. The car seems very stable maybe a touch slow in the twisties, can someone give me a point in the right direction, trying stiffer spings just seemed to lose me grip and time.
