I opened up one additional hole in the shocks and went from 1* rear toe to 3*. That was it. Car is dialed at corcar. I'll post a Setup sheet as soon as I get it filled out in Acrobat.

I've changed the rear bulk to make it tigher but still way too loose

what's up? please help!!!!!!!!!!

Is the rear belt slipping? If not, don't worry about it. If it does, perhaps you confused the layshaft pulley with the newer larger pulley.

Aluminum bulkheads vs. hardened Alu
Composite shock towers vs. CF
Composite battery straps vs. Alu + CF
Composite servo mount vs. Alu

I'm probably missing a few others...

The Evo2 FOC (Freedom of choice) had both C-hub and pivot ball suspension parts.

yes the T1R comes with C-Hubs, great car. I might be getting rid of mine

Here is where i got mine: http://www.thercshack.com/index.asp?...PROD&ProdID=79

Really cheap, retail on T1R is around 230-235 i believe and getting it for 185 is a great deal.

well, i was thinking of getting the factory t1, the new one that came out. Couple of people i know who have it at my LHS have it, and it is a BEAST!

Pro 4 is an excellent choice if you get one.

Trf415- i would not know, do not have it

The T1R is an excellent machine for those wanting a high performance TC but with more of a budget. At $225-235 at most shops, it is cheaper than a XXX-S, TC3, Pro 4, or any of the really good Tamiya cars. It also has everything in it to be competitive out of the box.
