I wouldn't worry about the kit carpet setup, I'd just go with Barry's from Vegas. Its going to be a lot better and more up to date.

And yes, you will have the tub and shock towers and misc. other stuff left over from your other car that you'll probably never use.

Would like to know how one may go about protecting the graphite chassis of the FT TC4. I see AE sells a plastic film Associated Factory Team Chassis Protector 6.5x18" RC10 is this recomended? I would really hate to mess up the underside of this car. I will be running on concrete and asphalt. Any insight to other similar type products welcome.
Thank you,

You can try to use it but for me it's more trouble than it's worth. First, it's very expensive. Second, it can be difficult to use. You either build the car and put the cover protectant on the bottom of the chassis. Or you can put it on a bare chassis and cut out all the battery slots and screws holes so you assemble/dissamble the car with the film in place. If you do not, you have to remove the film to take apart or work on you car and then you have to buy new stuff to replace it since it's not resuable.
Believe me I tried it when I first got into the hobby and then after fighting with it for some time, I realized that not matter what I do, I will not be able to stop the bottom of my chassis from scratching.

I am looking for some setup advice. I tried walter's setup at my local track and found my car was really loose it pushed mid corner through and then it hooked and got the rear loose. I am convinced that our track just doesn't build enough traction to support it. Does anyone have any setup advice for a club/ lower traction carpet track?
THANKS
THANKS

The car still has a little on power push but it is getting better. I would like to have the car rotate more. My XXX-S rotated very well. I just wish I can get this car to do the same.
