Anyone put the hpi falken body on their tc6? I'm wondering if it would fit and with what offsets.

Tested the BMW body today with a normal rear wing. Setup was my unchanged race setup that I use with a Mazda Moore Speed lightweight body. I was quite surprised about the performance. The car was in direct comparison just 4 tenth/lap slower on 14-15s lap. Now with that rear wing I had a little understeer. Other than that it behaved good and I could easily stay in a two tenth window for the whole run. What hurts the performance most is the weight and the height of the body I would say. With an adapted setup a reduce of that mentioned timegap is possible.
Of course the best was the look. It is awesome to see a scale body run around corners that fast. The design itself is an eyecandy and to see that the whole time you drive is pure joy. Even better was that I could totally match the times of the other clubmembers with their tc on track

Hello,
Anyone tried the tc6 smokem chassis ?
It seems to have more hole around the bulkhead.
Is it for hinge pin blocks like other touring cars by Tamiya, Yokomo and Hot Bodies ??

[QUOTE=cdwilliams1;12381610]Any ideas for a car that loves to fish tail? Steering is fantastic but the rear end keeps breaking loose. TC6.1 Worlds built to the manual's stock setup (except for a gear diff up front). Running on ozite carpet, VTA tires, Saucing all 4 with sticky fingers about

depends on where in the turn it's breaking loose. Sounds like coming out of turns?
A few areas to start: double-check droop, soften the rear springs a little bit, increase rear diff weight

I heard from a friend in the industry that they are working on it for several months, but never actually saw anything...
I would be in a market for one even though anything we have seen from other companies made no difference in performing better on track regarding laptimes only. AE made a huge step from TC5 to TC6. The car drives much better and is easier to handle on the limit. I am not sure if it makes sense to offer another normal chassis like everyone else (short shocks, floating servo mount, etc.). What I would like to see is a manufacturer focussing his efforts on the suspension and not on chassis flex characteristics as there is much more time gain potential hidden there...
So I am hoping for a revolution while expecting the boring standard.
