BMI Racing do a sweet Blue TC3 conversion kit carbon fiber gotta get me one

Does anyone know any alternative threaded shocks for the TC3 if i dont wanna use the Factory Team ones? I heard Tamiya TRF shocks work well, is this true?

What would be wrong with the associated ones? The only problem I have had is bleeding which is easy to fix wit the yokomo shock caps.

I read an article somewhere that the Tamiya's were possibly the best shocks.

PIIHB!

I ditched the AE ones that came w/ my TC4 and I used the TRF Flourine coated shocks.

Anyone know how those Flourine shocks handle on the TC3?

Do you know if the blue and red conversions have the same resistance to flex that the black has? This question comes from exp. with the colored carbon fiber chassis vs. the black carbon fiber for the Xray M18s. BIG diff. in stiffness between black and the colors.

As far as i am aware there is no difference between the coloured ones but i will now ask BMI as if there is a difference then ill will post it asap

There is a difference between the stiffness of colored carbon fiber compared to plain black, because of the outer layer of colored CF being fiberglass.......It's very noticable in component grade, cheap Carbon Fiber like most R/C companys use........and almost undetectable in high quality carbon fiber thats been made by laying the fibers in 3 directions like the material BMI uses.......

so is blue stiffer or weaker than black

Fiberglass adds flex...........colored is weaker

PaZ

oooooo rite so the black would be better than the blue on a tight carpet track

You seem to know a bit about the BMI chassis... is the difference between the color and black woven carbon fiber noticably different?. You mentioned that "quality" carbon fiber work the flex is minimal, still true with BMI's colored chassis, or is it just "the nature of the beast" when dealing with colors?

lol Joe B is a BMI factory team driver
