I have only had one screw pull out very early on then I switched to slightly longer screws and no problem since. I also notice you are running really high roll center. How's that working for you?

It would have to be one hard impact, or the screws come loose.

One solution might be to put a set screw in the blocks to touch the hinge pin. This might keep them from rolling on impact and/or the screw coming loose. The hinge pin is long enought that it shouldn't be able to fall out unless those blocks roll a long way. Maybe they are worn out to much and you just need new blocks. I have never experienced this or heard of theis problem until now so I am just trying to think of options.

I should have clarified...that's NOT a photo of my car. That's just one I grabbed off the Associated website showing the arm mounts. Sorry about that! :blush:

My car is not set up the same as the photo. I'm using the "0" mounts with shims.

For the plastic shims, ditch them and use the 1/12 scale front ride height shims for the 12R5 series of cars. They're a nice wide washer and come in a few thicknesses. I've done that since almost day one with my TC5, TC5R, TC6, and TC6.1.

My son and I are running our TC6 in USGT. We are very happy with the way it drives. The only continous problem we have are the front arm mounts. Most of the time, if we hit anything, even lightly, the front axle pulls out of the arm mounts. Usually ruining the mounting hole so that the mount has to be replaced.

It doesn't seem to happen on my TC5 as much.

Do you guys experience the same thing with your TC6's? Is there something I can do to help prevent that from happening? Its a cheap fix, so I'd rather have that happen then the arm break or worse, but it just pulls out too easy it seems.

No problem. Keep in mind that these aren't exactly the same thickness that the plastic ones are, but they are close. Another big benefit to these is that they are repeatable because they don't compress like the plastic ones.

Man, I love these forums! Where else can you get good advice from multiple people who really know what you are talking about and have solved it themselves? Even at the hobby shop you often just get the advice of one person. At the track we are always too busy to do much talking.
