1) yeah I think you can still get the steel outdrives, if not get yourself some IRS lite drives, or pretty much any other aftermarket one. You could also try Square's delrin ones for less rotating mass
2) never heard of anyone doing this... but there are some aluminium hubs out there if you want to try them... or a lot of people use losi rear hubs for extra tuning options, but I don't think they're any more durable
3) Yep, there's a new HD oneway out now. Less breakages due to 6mm oneway bearings. part no is 3978

$49.99 Off ebay? I would buy em used if someone has
Edit** Kevin U got em? what you think?
Also how much would a Used perfect cond AE threaded shocks go for w/ a set of springs?

I have done some looking before, and the cheapest I found was Ebay.
I don't have them, but I wouldn't mind picking some up (wishing I had some ). I have heard nothing but GREAT things about them, so they should work out pretty good.
I'm not sure how much some used threaded shocks for the TC3 would be. I have just never looked into them.

Hi friends.Greetings from Malta.
FANS
With the hot temperatures we race in in Malta a fan is a must.
Here's how I run it on my son's championship winning car.
Incidentally this car won all 3 finals at last weekend's Kelloggs Easter Cup, breaking lap and race records in the process.
To the fella that asked about keeping diffs in one piece: get a set of IRS alloy diff halves to replace the plastic ones. You'll never touch them again.
Regards
Joe from sunny Malta.

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.

The rear hub carriers still have the same problem. This is easily fixed by not hitting stuff. If thats not possible the Losi rear hubs are alot nicer. The graphite ones wont bend and the plastic ones will take alot of abuse before breaking. They also give you a little more wheelbase adjustment as they need another spacer in the rear.
The new associated heavy duty oneway is alot better. And the Yokomo one is even better than that.

Wow, thanks for all the replies. Sounds like the car just keeps on getting better and better.

I've been away awhile, could anybody tell me about the updated diffs? Or any new parts for the TC3?
