The AE vertical camber mounts are in stock and shipping.

31372 VBS bearing cap (A) requires 2 per car
31373 VBS bearing cap (B) requires 2 per car
31376 VBS front shock tower
31377 VBS rear shock tower

I'm not sure if the towers are necessary but a nice addition.
They are the same as stock just no camber mount pad.

There is a new number ball stud that has not arrived yet that has shorter threads. Just check to be sure that if the threads go through that they don't interfere with anything.

Short camber link hole with black ball stud, no washers = camber link #3

No the front wishbones are the same length as before. The track width will stay the same if you were previously running 2mm spacers on the front, as the new mounts are offset by 2mm.

If you were previously running 1mm spacers on the front, there is no way to make the 6.1 this narrow with the offset mounts, it will be 1mm wider. This is the downside of the new mounts, but for most users its far outweighed by them not moving every race.

Nice upgrade, but not listed on the AE website yet. I already have the RSD ones, so I won't buy this upgrade, but good to see that AE comes with their own version of the vertical ball studs

shock towers have their header cards switched?!

If you want to run the car narrower you still run the TC5/6 arm mounts. The new mounts were created so you would not have to run so many spacers.

hey guys,

i have a question regarding the weight difference between the four corners.

my tc6 is perfectly balance left to right without using any weights. however, when i put the car on 4 table scales, it shows that the front left corner is heavier than the front right corner by about 70g. And that the rear left corner is lighter than the rear right corner by about 70g as well. i am using the back position for battery.

i don't have a problem with the car however. it drives really well. tracks straight and carries good corner speed. turning left and right feels balanced also.

i am just wondering if the corner weights distribution is normal. right now, if i want to balance the four corners perfectly, i would have to put 70g in the front right corner and 70g in the rear left corner. that's a lot of weight added to the car.

i am relatively new to the hobby. can some one clear this up for me?

thanks.

That could indicate tweak in the chassis itself or cross-weight from unevenly adjusted spring collars. However, I would be careful with using scales for this measurement, because if any of the 4 scales are sitting at slightly uneven heights, you will get a bad reading. I frequently put my car on a tweak station similar to this:

There are a few different methods to check for tweak, everyone has their preference so I'm sure some others will chime in.

Whats everyones honest opinions on the tekin redline motors for touring?

It seems like most people including the pros are using everything but the redline motors, like reedy, lrp, trinity.

I want to know what you guys have experienced as the pros/cons of the redline motor...

Will the new kits include this items or will they be sold just as option parts?

Rick Hohwart

Option parts only.

Could someone explain the benefit to mounting the camber link to the bearing cap versus the stock shock tower?

It's really a personal preference. You don't really NEED them, they do offer more camber gain/roll center adjustments though. A nice tuning tool for sure.
