widens the TC4 chassis on the motor side so you can use lead weights on that side. I also like to use bigger pinion gears than a 37t. My 2 cents.

I hope AE has something up their sleeve...
I'm bored....
I can't wait to see/read something about it.
Anyone use a rubber boots on the rear cvds? I'm just wondering if they would wear longer with them.
Would also be cool to see a drop type battery tray like the Losi JRXS one. That way they would never need to worry about battery companies changing them up every year.
Some slim lined toe blocks like the Pro 4 would make me smile.

Hey guys,
I got my TC4 handling TIGHT! Boomey likes! I was able to take about as tight a line as I liked, which also means I could swing a turn or cut it tight - however I liked.
Problem is that it seemed to shed speed in a turn - you know?
I'm running silver/blue with 40wt all around.
I talked with some guys and I'm feeling like I might be too "soft" - that because my setup is soft (blue is 3rd softest, silver is 2nd) it might be sucking up some of my corner speed. . .
Any thoughts?

ie, rubbers, foam.....carpet, tarmac (high bite or low bite)
if its with foams on carpet..then i could foward you my setup, i have it fairly dialled and loosing very little corner speed....i have never got along with rubbers on my tc4, well only once really but that was on HPI 15-40s (which you guys would probably never dream of using because they suck )

My setup is listed a few pages back, but here's a recap.
Location: SoCalRC - indoor, asphalt, high-bite
Rubber (Sorex 36r with Yok firm inserts)
Silver/Blue-40wt
No front sway-bar, rear = black
otherwise=stock.
Car is HOOKED. . .I was irritating mod guys in practice by taking the far far far inside line and making them use their power to go around outside of me. . .
but when I ran sportsman stock I was consistently slower even though observers said that my line was nearly identical or even, in places, better than many.
I know that my batteries are something of an issue (the ones I'm using for sedan are OLD. . .like OLD. One is at least a year yold. . .) and I don't have the best motors.
But the car is rolling quite a bit, I think, and it is very soft. I'm trying to figure out how to take the incredible "hooked" feeling and transfer it to a bit stiffer setting (which should carry speed better. . .)

wheni ran the HPI tyres..i ran it on rubbery cork type surface, medium grip ish.
i ran blue/gold and the rest was stock apart from a few things.......i found going to that from blue silver not only carried more corner speed but i had more grip because it made my tyres work harder..sot hey got more heat into them.
so maybe if you try that you might find it does work a bit better....try it in practise though incase you don't like it in the heats.
