Out the box the car is great. Its a Beast with front spool and rear gear diff.
The only other thing I see others are trying is other manufactuer's Shock springs and pistons. Im using Losi #57 pistons on my car tonight. I also have a spring set and pistons coming from Reflex racing this week.
Have fun with the car and practice as much as you can. That is still the most important "must have part"

I'm here in hot south florida and on road racing is so hard to find....sucks bad but I'm looking at a thread on here i think its reflex racing...not sure they have a spool gear... do you know if its any good? also are their springs good?

I just ordered the AE front spool and the gear diff for the rear. I'll be giving this setup a try. Right now I love the way my TC6 drives, but always looking for some improvements.
the Reflex Racing Springs, Shock Bladders, pistons disks, and Fan Mount are all working fantastic on my car.

going to try yokomo springs this weekend.
what is different between ae springs and the reflex ones? (apart from more spring rates with reflex)
has anyone tried tamiya springs?

Setup Questions
I bought a used TC6 and was going through it to make sure how it was built. Its seems that for the most part the kit instructions were followed. Since I've not ever raced a TC6 I thought I would put on the stock kit setup in the back of the manual. The setup on the car was already pretty close. I did have a couple questions though.
1. On the Suspension Geometry section it calls for "Silver + 0" on the front outer ball & shims. What is "Silver"? Does it come in the kit?
2. On the Alignment section it calls for the Steering Link to be "2B". Is "B" the outer bumpsteer location? Whats is the "2", the pivot point?
Car will be run on Carpet with Rubber Tires and 17.5 blinky class.
Thanks for any help.
