hello freddy

I saw that you are not the original chassis plate which brand is used
and is better known as the original chassis plate tcx

greetings peter

We tried a different chassis, which was made by a german guy. It's a little bit easier to drive and more narrow.

But in the future I think HB will release a narrow lipo chassis. ;-)

The standard chassis works good!

Hey,

I was wondering in what situation would you use hole one on the front wishbones when positioning the shocks rather than 2 which most people seem to run?

What effect does this have on the cars handling?

Could somebody tell me if AE TC6 and Yokomo's ballstuds fit TCX, please?

And asking also for the purple ball end from RPM, please?

Best regards

Hi,

Just finished my TCX build, where can I get the machined shock pistons #73524 and the shock end balls #61326 ? can't find them anywhere instock :(

shock pistons
 

parts r very low or out of stock all over. I've been looking like crazy also. I found out from people on the thread that the Tamiya 53573 shock pistons 3hole, work great.

Ty,

I'm geared around 6.6 with my 13.5, with a 34/115 combination (I thought I was geared higher than that!). I'm thinking that the smaller track in Lethbridge would be best with a gearing around 7 (or perhaps higher), so dropping a few teeth on the pinion would be the ticket...

san. - I am using the Tekin RS Pro esc and am looking for profile suggestions also.

Dogbone - Thanks for the suggestion, see you in Lethbridge.

Here's what I'm running on my Tekin, with respect to advanced timing:

Boost: 45
Start/End EPM: 5443/20016
Turbo: 10
Turbo Delay: .2
Turbo Ramp: 2.0

This is plenty fast on the carcar track, but I could certainly be more aggressive with the setup (shorter RPM range, ramp of 3.0), but I just didn't feel the need...

Based on the small size of the Lethbridge track, I doubt if Turbo will even be required.

I am running haras vegas set up which is a good starting point but geared down to 8.01 which is 28/115 ....that gives lots of punch on the infeild and great straight away speed I had 7.01 but felt to soft ...

I think ill just wait for the HB Gear diff to come out lol

tcx build
 

hey fellas! i was wondering if any body had any problems with the FR pivot block rubbing up against the spool pulley when buliding ur kits, and if so what needs to be done to correct that (shave it)?

I think you made a small building mistake. The FR and in the rear the front block are not the same! So you maybe tried to use the rear block in FR position and the FR block in the rear of the car ?

Hope you understand what I want to tell you.

Guys, just want to know if upgrading to alum rear uprights will equal the rear toe left and right? Mine has 3.5 deg on the left and 2.5 deg on the right. Also saw that 3racing also has alum rear uprights for cyclone which is half the price of HB made one and its also easy to get. Is this good?

thanks Freddy for the reply. i did think about that, but i'm not at home right now to check it, so i just posted a question to see what anyone had to say about it in the mean time; until then. Thanks
