You will have to get a newer chassis to go with the newer arms. Its been a long time since the TC3 didnt have droop screws.

My question is that I want to get the version 2 arms for it with the droopscrews as the car I have does not have these arms?

I am wondering if they will work on my chassis? To me it does not look like the droop screws would touch the chassis?
If you need a Mint cond graphite tub chassis I have one i can sell you I actually have 2 I can sell you incase one warps

HEHEHE Yeah I thought so! Oh well I guess I'll hold off on getting the arms.

Does the newer chassis have like little ear where the droop screw meets the chassis?

Thanks for the help SpeediePHATT!

I tryed doing that But I cant get the motor to Stay. Its like a 1/4inch wide So it barely Grips, All it wants to do is tip over....
My fan is the same size. I used a nice heaty blob of shoo goo to hold it in there. That stuff is cool. As it dries, it forms fillets, so make sure you have some "squeze out". Mine is solid.

I also connected to the battery. So, when I solder my pack in, the fan comes on regardless of whether the speedo is on or not. It draws such a small current it makes no difference. But I don't solder in untill about 2 minutes or less before the race. Waiting for those batts to get nice and warm.

Default chassis

so you're saying that the plastic chassis and older graphite chassis don't have the things for the droop screws, and a new(er)
chassis would? sorry to be still asking about this, but i'm not sure whats up.


thanks in advance

Last year I had a TC3, great car. I sold it because I didnt have time to maintain it, and went with a 1/12 car. I want to get back into touring this summer, and I was thinking I might go with another TC3. I just want to ask about the perpetual problems I had with the car, if there are any fixes out
1) The diffs. I melted about 3 of those plastic lightweight diffs before I switched back to the steel outdrives. Does AE still make the steel outdrives? I sold them, now Im wishing I didnt
2) In high heat, with heavy collisions, I found myself twisting rear hub carriers. I know it sounds weird, but they would actually warp 2-3 degrees and bind up the bearings. It was really bizzare.
3) Is there a good oneway available? I seem to remember AE discontinuing the oneway I had and I had to junk it after breaking an outdrive.

Thanks in advance

Yes AE makes steel Outdrives, Titanium outdrives might work too.
The rear hub i nevre heard About.
The one-way I don't know cause i run a spool what most people do ass well. If your going to TUb chassis Remmember mill chassis. If dont want to mess w/ warping chassis go w/ the BMI or the WArpspeed Chassis which are stiffer and look nicer
