last weekend i tried my new tc6.1ft for the first time. I really like the feel and how the car drives.
I have only one problem: the suspension blocks tend to unscrew from the bulkheads during the run, introducing lot of play. I had to tighten up the blocks after each and every run. Even if i used red loctite threadlock. It is very annoying.
Before the tc6.1 i had a top photon, which uses the same suspension blocks system, and never had an issues with it.

Any advice?

Mattia.


Maybe a longer screw with a nut on the back.

TC6.1 spare parts needed
 
Took my new TC6.1 to a parking lot yesterday with a friend and his tc and had a blast. We set up a medium track with plastic plates and used a blower to clean the area. We are investigating other options for mobile track set ups. Noticed a few small rocks got into the spurs, cleaned them off and continued having fun.
What parts are needed to be on hand for racing in a parking lot?
How long before the belts need replacing?

If the settings of the belt is correct and it doesn't get damaged by stones, it will last very long, at least one or two years. But it is more than likely that sooner or later a little stone will destroy it. My outdoor track experience is two killed rear belts in three years (running nearly every weekend). So I would recommend to have at least one rear belt as spare. Otherwise outdoor you will not destroy many parts. Get some C-Hubs as spare, maybe some blades and enjoy your hobby ;)

Hi Guys - Is there a preference for body shell to run? I'll be running outside medium grip asphalt. When I was racing a couple of years ago the go to bidy shell was the Mazda Speed 6, but I think there's another one out there people like. Apreciate any input. Thanks!

Protoform ltc-r
Slightly more nosey.

Hi, I need again your input.
Just broke my first C-Hub on my TC6.1. Our indoor track has hard guardrails.
When I order the spare parts is there something else that can break from time to time like the front arms or rear arms?

Thanks
Sascha

The only thing I broke so far are 2 hubs, 1 batteryholder (Side impact broke it :() and 2 spoolcups (after a crash - which was at near full speed).

I would take some spare spoolcups, hubs and front arms. That's about it. The car is pretty tough.

Do you mean the spool set #31339

I'd also carry spare shock caps (plastic part) and blades.

I second the battery holder. Didnt break them forever, then broke 3 in one weekend of my first time on a indoor carpt track with hard boards.
