A TC6 is well able to beat the pants of Xrays and TCXs

Haven,t bent a screw since going to the larger o.d. blue aluminum shims.

i would take the arm mount off and measure the distance from the whole to the end of shims or without beacuse an accurate caliber wont lie

Hey what is a good starting setup for an agressive driver for the tc6?I recently picked one up with a tekin 17.5 combo in it and just wanted to know whats a good starting setup such as shock oils,springs,shock positions,gear ratios for 48 pitch.Any help would be greatly appreciated.I currently run an xray t3 and know they are different in many ways so i came to you guys for some advice.Any replies would be greatly appreciatedOh i will be running this on crc carpet of course and use sxt tire sauce,and the course is very technical and flowing.

The only problem using the aluminum washers are they don't rest against 100% of the mount. The plastics do and you can get them tighter and less prone to moving.

I think you might have that backwards.

Plastic arm mounts. Hold much better than a ride height washer or a plastic wheelbase washer.

Sean/Rick,

Just want to know if the Tc5/6 cva kits will bolt straight in to the 6.1....

Are all the parts (bones, Stub axles, pins etc) the same?

They look identical to the eye but the part numbers have changed?

Cheers.

The 6.1 uses larger ball bearings, so the axles are different

5x10 bearings

Thanks dudes

anyone using guy droop tools to set droop on this car?
I'm having a hard time finding the spot on the front arms to reference my droop.

any input would be appreciated

Part way through my build, I've come across a deal breaker problem.

One of my 4 Outter Hinge Pins is too fat!

I measured the diameter of all 4 hinge pins, 3 are 2.5mm and ONE is 2.6mm wtf?

I can't fit this into the arm hole at all, Arghhhh.

This is my first AE kit, and it feels terrible. The fit and finish is way below Tamiya kits. Some of my aluminium parts for instance have slight nicks in them (shock bodies, a few bulk heads). Also have 1 less than perfect bladder damper out of the 4 (slight half tear on the outside). The steering knuckles that sit into the front C hubs is also a tight fit, even with NO screws. it feels very tight to turn.

Also what the hell is with the springs? Isn't it meant to include 2 silver and TWO GREEN? I got 4 silver like some others have mentioned here. The manually certainly stipulates 2 green and 2 silver.

I'm not in USA, so i doubt AE will post me one 2.5mm outter hinge pin will they?

End Rage. What a shoddy kit.

Contact AE they will send you a replacement Hinge pin, even if your not on US.
