are the bottom suspention arms bolted on to the bulkheads with new "mounts"? or are they the same tc5 ones with a pile of spacers behined them to push it out to 190mm ?

The biggest problem I've found so far is not having enough of certain screw or too many of a certain screw. Not a problem for me has I have a good few dozen spares of various types. I'm installing the electrics now.
Update: Build is now done, car can be driven now just need to do final setup. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...s/PB118151.jpg I noticed when I had it on the Hudy station that the slop in the links is much more reduced compared to the TC5. The car is now ready for a few runs, should be interesting. It's mostly kit setup except for 1 compound harder in springs and I went with 2 degrees of negative camber all around. |
@Scooter79rs: can you please post a list of the number and size of the different ballbearings. Thank you very much :)
|
The ball bearings sizes and hardware are all listed in the manual if you have one.
I am pretty sure they are the same as the TC5. |
how comes guys that all of you are missing something in their kit?
this happen because it is an early release? i m getting worryed because i m thinking to buy this car in december...but so far it does not look a great deal, even because i do not own a tc5 to undress! |
I never said I am missing something. It is just, that I dont want to wait to get my ceramic bearings from acer. But they didnt receive a kit yet, so they ask around. My kit comes not before monday. So I am asking the guys who already have one for a list of bearings...

That is very strange because I know for a fact that the bulkhead thread (or not threaded) was fed back to Associated by one of the team drivers... because I lent him the tap to fix it.

that one was not for u!;) people here are missing washers and screws, have some extra screw which cant fix etc... this is why i m asking! |
Isn't it funny how Team Associated is suppose to be a American company and will be the last country to recieve the TC6, it was a good thing they postpone until Dec because there would be no telling how many parts would be missing if it release in Oct and they still got wrong

I ended up having to use one of my spare axel stubbs as I couldn't get the wheel hex pin through one of the kit ones. |
I dont care what kit you buy and where from there is always something different and wrong about the kit... its a hobby and thats just it. They make millions upon millions of parts and pack them in little bags there is bound to be something wrong with the kit as a whole or the company would have to hire millions of ppl to make the demand of how many kits need to go out for the day to make it 100% perfect. everyone cracks up when we pay the price for the kits now... I think its a great trade off to have a couple things wrong with each kit to keep the hobby where it is today.:nod:
