but I am using juice full all 4 - so your suggestion of less up front and more rear is to help with the loose rear?? I would have thought more bite up front.. but I guess we are taking care of that with springs correct?
I am running 60wt up front and 50wt rear.. NO up travel limit.. wondering if I should get something in there to prevent roll?

Thanks for the post Bull, I think I will go silver green.. and lighten the oil. We seem to have a similar car. I am currently running a ballistic 21.5 on a havac.
What FDR are you running.. and a spur pinion please?

CTA Kinda evolved with rules for the WCICS series ( WESTERN CANADA INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES) wwwwcics.ca
Pinion 36t to 40t Spur 60t Robinson 48p ...Mostly used for 1/12 scale. It bolts right in, eliminates grinding motor mount and motor cam for adjustment. You may have to grind out the chassis below the spur if you go to a larger pinion. Outdoor on asphalt last summer I think I usually used a 39 depending on the layout.

OOOOOOOPPPSSS....My "BOOBOO".....you are so correct it is 48 pitch, At least I got the 60 right!!!!Thanks for catching my mistake. I will go back and edit my post.
I just checked the Kimbrough site (Black plastic) and I think I'm wrong again, I think its a Robinson spur (White plastic). "HELP????" me out here!!!

I used to run these one way shaft bearings in VTA until they were banned and we had to run diff only.

Hello fellow tc3 owners.
I have some questions regarding the tc3 and tc4. A friend of mine gave me his old tc3 so I rebuilt it, cleaned up everything, new bearings and new electronics were dropped in. most likely this will be my vta car. So as I been looking to get some parts and spares I was looking for suggestions.
I bought a set of tc4 arms locally thinking they fit but the hinges fit loose. If I get the tc4 arms, hinges and the tc4 ft allow hinge/arm holder fit?
What are the major difference between them two and will my tc6 axles and dog bones bolt up if I want to swap to them? Was thinking about ordering a set instead of the allow ones and use regular 4mm hexes and wheel nuts.

The biggest change I've made is aluminum steering hubs. I had an ongoing problem with the top ball/screw stripping out from minor or major wall contact. Aluminum has solved that. These are the ones I got off ebay. How they can ship them in a week for $3.00 from Hong Kong is beyond me, but they did! And, they are quality parts.

You'll need a 72T or 75T spur, I think Robinson racing or Kimberough make them, and a 48T-52T pinion, 64 pitch. You'll need to remove some of the chassis webbing material under where the pinion goes as 48T-52T is so large that it would rub that part of the chassis. If you're not sure what I mean, try that spur/pinion combo, install the motor and you'll quickly see what I mean.

I run a 60/37 in 48p - with the 2.5 internal ratio this gives me 4.05 fdr which works great with most 17.5 not cranked up with the timing.
you want to be AROUND 4.0 fdr - then you want to measure your speed on the track and your temperature of the motor after 120-130 deg f. is ideal.
with a small technical track you might want to get the fdr up a bit to 4.1 or 4.2 to get a little more pull - less top end.
