Hi,
yes no problem, in answer to your first question, i've never actually tried any other sway bars other than Tamiya so i'm not sure...
As for the setup, I normally like to try and find a good basic setup that works well at most tracks. I do this by testing at home and then when we go to the big races and nationals, the car should always work well to start with. I find that changes such as springs, shock oil, roll centres and shock positions are good to test with to find a basic setup that works for you. From there, at the race you can just change these by small amounts to fine tune the setup.
Hope this helps?
Elliott

Hi Elliot, thank you for your help, is amazing.
I have one question, the pilots of team tamiya, what oil always use in the rear gear diff with a low traction?
Regards Alejandro.

question on droop
i am building my 417 and was looking at some base setups to start off with and i noticed that on the 417 setup sheet had the droop setting as
eg: 5mm in teh picture from the ground to the outside pin in the lower arm!!
is this measured with the chassis flat on the setup board and just measure 5mm up to the centre of the pin??
so not using droop blocks under the chassis anymore and measuring under the arm??

Recommended spur/pinion combo for 17.5 non-boosted
If I want to have an FDR of 4.0, I would assume that using the stock 111T spur would not fit, since the pinion would have to be 54T.
In order to fit the adjustment range on the motor bulkhead, any recommendations on spur tooth qty? I was thinking spur 100T, then pinion would have to be 49T...would this fit?
Recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hello,
I had a Problem, i have buy a new Lower Deck than the Old had Tweak. I have the new Lower Deck put on a glass table, and she is OK but with Elektronik an Bulkheads and the other Details she had Tweak.
In Front, right side, she comes 1mm from the Table, I know not where the error is. Does anyone know the problem?
Sorry for my English

I can't wait to head up to Jackson's this summer. Running the TT-01s in the 24hr enduro was fun and all but I knew I had to go back with my TC. I'm anxiously waiting on the 2011 Nats spec tire announcement. Hopefully, I'll find a suitable setup that'll work well at Jacksons.

As for FDR of 4.0 , on tracks with larger then 100 ft. straights ,lower then 4.0 will be needed in 17.5 !

Dry, then lube with some Epic Royal Oil or other PTFE thin lube and you're good to go.
Are you planning on running TCS? Are you at KMA now? You should get your a$$ in gear and come race at WCRC in the 17.5 no boost class with us dude.

The setup sheet shows it to the pin but it is always measured under the arm at the c-hub.
If you use the Tamiya droop gauge it is easy to do as it is a gauge and droop block all in one...

For reference it is pretty much maxed out on the motor mount right now.
96t spur may be easier if you need to go lower than 3.5 for those of you that run a torque rotor in an x12, d3 or ballistic...

@jonest
No problem, I hope I can help
@Alejandro
Outdoors we all use 1000 oil 90% of the time.
However, on carpet I like to use a little softer oil like 800
@kiloolli
Have you checked that all of the aluminium parts are not bent? If so, try replacing the screws that secure the aluminium parts to the chassis with new ones. This can get rid of many tweak problems as the screws may have become slightly bent and it can be hard to notice this
Hope this helps
