Do these wear out fast?
I'm asking because I want to stack some spares but they are very hard to get my hands on.

just flip the topdeck and mount it with button screws, that will give you a little more flex

Got this transmitter and with it came two Sanwa SRM-102 servos.

I think these are not much of a servo.

Would they last in a TC6.1 for clubracing and an occasional nats?

Or just toss them aside and buy me a decent Sanwa servo like, for instance, the SDX-801?

I run on a smallish indoor carpet track (20m x 10m) and I've just bought a 2nd hand TC6. It came with a spool in the front and a diff in the rear and was a pig to drive (back end kept breaking away coming out of corners).

I'm running 17.5 blinky with 40wt oil all round and 2 hole pistons. Silver springs front and green rear.

As I've never been able to get on with a spool, I've bought a gear diff. Is it better to use this at the rear and move the diff to the front or run the gear diff in the front and keep the rear diff as is? What weight oil should I use in the gear diff?

Thanks for any advice

I would let the balldiff in the rear and put the geardiff in front. Depending on the oil you use you can reduce the spinning of the inner wheel on corner exit while still having a diff at front feeling.

dear all, i badly need help on setting a car tweak, i trying to understand and imagine the way keven teach, i even translate it on the google for my language (chinese) but i still can not figure it out.

can anyone show me the way to setting a car tweak with the most simple way and the most easy understand way? if possible, a video or picture would be much more better, thanks in advance.

what i wish to learn is, how to check if your car is tweaked, and how to solve it.

Tried this technique 2 weeks ago over 2 days of testing and yes, it works fantastic. Started removing pairs on the rear top deck first (I used washers and shock o-rings under screws) to keep some tension on topdeck and adjust to desired chassis flex to suit track requirements. Most notably, picked up alot of corner speed and more planted handling characteristic from the car through out race course. The top deck flip, as mentioned works well also. I am sure the use of this technique depends on the surface you are racing on. (currently using on outdoor asphalt).

In need of a little clarification on the whole top deck thing. Every setup guide/video shows the very precise method of tightening (everything up to and including) the top deck to eliminate tweak and setup the car. On the flip side, we have the discussions about loosening, flipping, and/or cutting the top deck to add flex. Both ideas make sense, just a bit unclear on the gray area between both schools of thought.

If you have everything ELSE tightened down and a car with no tweak, is that alone enough to be able to loosen/cut the top deck without worry? By cutting/loosening the top deck, is it just assumed that the car will flex back to it's original state or does the risk of a tweaked car increase with the changes? Is it a trade-off between the two on some level?

It's actually the other way round. It's generally the top-deck that causes tweak; if you had no top-deck, the car would never tweak. This is why tub chassis cars were popular for a while, and why Schumacher made the Axis2 with turnbuckles instead of a topdeck (yes really!).

So ideally you want a fairly stiff chassis, and a flexy top-deck, as this reduces the chance of the car tweaking. This is exactly what the TC6 comes with (no cutouts in the chassis and a skinny topdeck), and in my experience it hardly ever tweaks. Cutting the topdeck will add flex and reduce the chance of tweak further.

Removing screws (apart from the ones into the layshaft bulkhead, which everyone removes) may increase the chance of tweak, as you've got less screws holding the top-deck where it belongs. But not tried this myself.

Are there any plans for a TC6.2 with the new vertical ballstuds and shock towers? A running upgrade would be nice - by that I mean new kits would have the new parts.
