I use pressure diaphrams in my TC3 shocks and they make building them even easier than with Yokomo shock caps.

Tony when is your next planned update on that great site you run/own?

Is ther a big differance in the handling/tweak between the composite/graphite chassis and how durable is the graphite I know it is a bit more fragile but how much?
Any tips/parts to help keep tweak to a minimum? I seem to have a problem in straight line tracking but it also may be my cheapo servo (new one on order by end of month hopefully)

Corse R,
You seem to have missed my bit about F1 earlier.
Have a look and comment.

Regarding motorcycles... Naaah! I prefeer Superbikes and Superstock (1000cc) clases. This year I enjoy seeing the 4T bikes battling with the 500cc class. If someone seemed that the Superbikes were poweful (>160HP) wait to see some real 4 stroke racing motors on real racing frames.

Regarding the chassis tweak, this can be due to a incorrect tightening of the motor clamp (too tightened). I suffered from this until I removed the blue anodize of the clamp and the cam with a nails file. It doesn't need to be tightened to the full to support the motor. If you have the screw with the spring on the motor clamp you need to compress it up to 5 milimeters or a little less.

As Corse-R said, graphite chassis is much more rigid and should be used on hi-traction surfaces. Tweak shouldn't be a problem unless the chassis isn't straight...
Tweak: A good servo is always a must-have, in any vehicle. Another tip, make sure you don't have any toe-out on your car. Toe-out helps the car turn in, but makes it wandery (is that a word?) on the straights....

Thanks for all the tips, Tony. Ive been thinking about going back to the composite track for our local parking lot races. Ive even been thinking of milling down the molded bracing in the chassis to get a little more flex. We'll see what happens when I use the stock composite first though.

What is the difference between the D shaped diff rings and the regular diff rings? Any performance advantages? I just got my IRS outdrives in and they are sloted to use the D rings. Just wanted to know if the D rings are worth getting.
Thanks
Thanks

The d shape rings prevent the rings from slipping against the out drives under acceleration.
