Thanks! I can't find to much info on any carbon fiber chassis for The TC4 would it be worth it?

Cool thanks! No one has a spare set of team shocks they want to sell do they?

The tc4 CF chassis is pretty rare, and setups are from the Nimh days, so they will differ from lipo setups, which are impossible to get.... It's up to the racer to find a fast lipo setup... Happy racing...

Look for Brett Sisley... "Dialed"... he dominated when he ran his TC4 tub in 17.5... won the NW regionals with it.. he also owns rcspecialties.com

Thanks for sharing Ray...

Do you have any pictures of the bottom of the chassis?
I wanted to look at the holes that you drilled in the chassis.


Just wondering what effects the below items had on your TC4?

Outside tub wall between corner braces cut down 3mm
Motor mount cam heat sink removed along with the long "L" section
5/8" holes drilled one under each diff and two under steering rack

Thanks again

I would guess to add flex, remove weight and to keep crap from building up under the diffs and steering

Yes, I was thinking about the flex part also.

I wasn't thinking about keeping the crap from building up under the diffs and steering rack.

Good input...

Thx

I find it interesting that you have the softer shock spring on the front instead of the rear. I have the same springs but reversed. Was that done to gain more steering or for another reason? If I had that setup (I run on asphalt/concrete) I'd loose rear traction.

The two holes under the steering rack can be seen in the current picture. the other two holes are centered ,one under each diff. I don't think these holes did much to help performance .

I cut the long part of the motor mount off to increase flex .

I cut the sidewalls down to increase flex .

More flex will increase over traction.

Looking back at the mods , I think leaving the corner braces uncut and cross drilling the center backbone rib with 1/4" holes would possibly work better. Maybe eight or nine holes along the length .

I like that shorty layout

I built a TC3 for vta not too long ago with similar ideas, works great, plent of flex.

With will worn X-patterns on carpet and 200 cars running over three straight days . Steering get aggressive. My posted setup is to reduce front grip.

My base line spring setup is AE Silver rear and HPI silver fronts .

The shorty pack thing made my car very competitive with modern touring cars . But outdoor at the Kissimmee track , big battery !!!

Me likely !!!

I ran my stock tub tc4(no drilling) with a similar to Ray's setup on a pretty slippery carpet track with no traction issues at all... I did remove my swaybars though,and my driving sucked after almost a year off the carpet. Here is the video, I am the white slow car:
