Jdeadman, it's not the price of the pad that makes it expensive, it's the priceless time that it takes to keep it working correctly, and endless doubt that comes with such a mod..... On the other hand, the spool is a set it and forget it affair, and you only pay attention to your body&bumper when you hit hard... Voila !!!! Simple and the best solution here !!! No more funny stuff while braking either after only two meets, let alone seven years....
I also run 17.5t blinky buddy not VTA(not really a serious class on the WEST COAST)....lol...

If you dremel out the webbing on the corners there is lots of room

Ronald Volker says spool(not slipper spool), so you should say spool too....lol.... Don't listen to Bert...lol...
Remember Volker runs a rear gear diff(no slip) on top of the spool(no slip), so why run a slipper spool(slip) and ball diff(slip) in your tc4 .... It would be nice if someone would release a tc4 gear diff in the near future though......

Before I buy a VTA motor, Does this goes for a VTA 25.5 motor as well or just 17.5?

Ray K. won with a spool/lcd combo, and that's good enough for me.... How many real races have the slipper spool folks won ???? NONE !

Here is the chassis, really not much to show. I trimmed the Chassis to 94 mm width using a Dremel Cut Wheel.

The only legal rotor for USVTA is the 12.3 sinntered rotor. It does real well tho

Help!!! I'm looking for the Ae part # for the TC3/TC4 front spool, is it the same as solid front axle part# 1703. Also I have a borrowed LRP X12 21.5 I am going to try in my TC4 CTA.(Canadian T/A) The instruction manual suggest 3.5/1 for TC. Also max temp 210*. My Ballistic 21.5, Novak says no more than 160*????.

BE KOOL

Yes, the solid axle is a spool, 3.5:1 should work okay for a 21.5 if your track holds some speed through the corners and you're not running a max timing, and 160 is probably just right for good performance.

Yes ,spool and Losi lcd's . No hard bumper , but flush cut axles with the wheel nuts . Which helps protect axles from getting caught on boards . The only problem with hard bumpers ,is they tend to be heavy ,which takes away initial steering .

Yes 1703 is the spool part no#

I would not start a 21.5 at 3.5 FDR, especially a borrowed one ! 4.0 to start and stay away from the max timing slug .
