I've always used the box stock setup for my VTA TC6 and TC6.1 and adjust from there. If you are on carpet a bit stiffer springs and oil can help but on asphalt lighter may be better. Then adjust little things from there, like camber, toe, etc. I found that a gear diff up front helped me roll corners better. Make sure the drive train is free and smooth. For bodies I have used and liked both the HPI 70 Boss Mustang and the Mcallister Firebird.

Building a 6.1 worlds kit (total newb). Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but there are 12 pistons included for the shocks and they are stamped with 1,2 and 3 in groups of 4. Now, in the instructions, it has a "#2" in the build directions, but doesn't say anything specific.

Wondering if I should use the set of 4 #2s for the shocks or the 1s or 3s or is there any difference in the pistons at all. And what a the extras for?

Thanks for your help.

Use the number two that's what it calls for the larger the number the larger the hole you can measure them with calipers the extras are for tuning

Can you guys help me out on a good place to start with a D3 13.5T motor for gearing on a tc6.1 with gear diffs front and rear? Running asphalt.

Hi guys,

I have the above car (just built) and I cannot adjust the rear ride height high enough (to 5mm) If I remove the shocks, then there is plenty of ride height.

I have the shocks mounted in the lowest hole of the shock tower and it's still not good enough. In fact, it looks like I need another 1/8 of an inch. The front ride height is adjusted to 5mm and works fine, just can't figure out the rear issue.

I could unscrew the eyelet that screws to the bottom of the shock shaft and probably get the needed height, but 1/8" of threads is a lot.

Any ideas.

Thanks,

JB

Not easy to spot the problem right away...
Did you build it like the manual recommends or did you use other parts?
Is your shock length around 62mm all around? Maybe there is false manufactured rod?

Another problem could be your springs are your running he stock ones? I also suggest making sure you do what the guy above posted

Yes, the shocks are built the way that the kit manual recommends. All the shocks are around the 62mm and the rods were all the same length when I put them together. The shocks and springs are stock with the kit and look normal to me. What seems strange is that I can get the ride height correct on the front, but not the back. I could reverse the shock tower and that would give a lower hole, but then the spur gear would hit the tower. Baffled here.

Thanks for your help.

did you try backing out the droop screws?

Yes, the droop screws are fully backed out and not a factor.

how about posting a pic, should be easier for folks to see what you're doing with the setup.

Are you going pro-squat instead of anti-squat on the rear?
