What are peoples solutions to stop the slop that develops in the suspension arms/hinge pins from the hinge pin mounts moving outwards during a run?

The new spool is fix and you can't do anything wrong so for many regular drivers its easier to use. The down side is nothing can ''slip'' when you crash....

Ok, so the main reason is weight... but Seriously.... making them out of steal for a part THAT small is only a few grams more than aluminium.

Alright so you might say once you add in the angular velocity and momentum behind the weight, its multiplied many times over.... but still....

I'm sick of seeing those CVA protector blades break and having STEEL dog bones eat into damn Expensive Alu Drive cups.... Its just so unnecessary!

I have a ta05v2 and the gear diff outdrives are steel! and used with steel dog bones there is absolutely no wear and no need for any cva blade or plastic cushion. ARGHHH


Sorry but the above post triggered this rant.

I've also recently just finished my tc6.1 kit but haven't run it. Still waiting for my electronics. Waiting on a Align DS620 Servo (SAVOX 1258 on steroids rebadged and much cheaper...) and a counterfeit boosted combo haha.

Deciding to run 2 gear diffs, with 300,000 weight oil in the front (yeah racing brand - rcmart) and some hpi heavy duty diff grease for the rear diff (leak proof!)

I could use a couple beginning setups for 17.5/mod for carpet and asphalt

Also I have some TC5 ft arms and rear hubs and wanted to know are they compatible with TC6 car?

For now I'm running slipper spool (very tight) and yokomo rear gear diff

I could use some initial advice on roll centers to run, wheel base, and link postitions. I haven't run Touring since the TC3 and I did well with it but it seems a very different car since then

Car has black thin roll bars

I am also wondering how many spacers are inbetween rear bulkheads and rear/rear arms. These are aluminum spacers. The ft of rear spacers are about a 1mm but rear seems ab out 3-4mm with 0 rear hubs. I believe I have 4 degree ft castor blocks

Also if TC6.1 has any recommendable upgrades what would you recommend first for me to invest

Also should any outboard hex wheel spacers be acquired?

Thanks for any assistance

there is a little 4l and 4r marked on the blocks, so it is easy to check the castor blocks.

If you have a ball diff in the box give it a try on front, or replace the white pads with balls in the front diff, see if this suits better for carpet racing.

After, if you had the basics setup for the TC3, there is not much difference to set the rest, wheelbase, droops etc..is the same.

On 5, I removed the antiroll bars at time but very rarely on 6, you could try to use silver ones too.

There is plenty setup sheets on AE website, take one to start and work from there.

The axles, bearings, and steering blocks are all different. 6mm vs. 5mm axle size, so you'll need all of these parts. It looks like the axles aren't in stock anywhere yet.
