Yes, definitely. We have a decent group of locals out here (around 12 or so) that run the TC6. And almost everyone that I've ran with bounces between green and silvers all day; even in mod. Being how precise your springs are made, I think that is 12.5 pounds springs would be an excellent addition to tuning options. Plus....it completes the range of springs in the lower extreme.

i think when you run the shorter links with a little bit more camber gain the softer springs would be very usable. Also compared to other new cars tc6 does not roll to much so soft springs make the car easier to drive for some so technically faster

Chaz, the block lock are not ready yet, (hopefully next week they will ship out) so what you probably ordered was a pre-order. All your other items shipped.
The screws from the inside will actually go through the block, there is a slot in them for it. The ideal length screw is probably the width of the bulkhead +2mm.

Tom, below is our "standard" set-up for our track. It is a shorter track, but it runs big and has pretty high grip. I have handed down this set-up to all the TC6 owners at the track and they all have improved by at least a lap on their 6 minute runs:
Front:
-1,1,1.5 Piston 550cst oil
-15.5lb spring
-Outside link on tower caps (shorter) 3mm underneath the inside link, 2mm outside
-3A Roll center blocks
-4 Deg Caster
-Shocks 1 hole out on shock tower
-6 on droop
-5mm ride height
-Slipper Spool tight
-Black sway bar
Rear
-1,1,1.5 Piston 450cst oil
-13.5lb spring
-Outside link on tower caps 2mm underneath inside, 3mm outside
-3A Roll center blocks
-shocks 2 holes out on shock tower
-4 on droop
-5.5 mm ride height
-Gear diff 700cst oil
-2.5 inboard toe 1 deg toe hub (if you are not running toe in hubs, 3 degs inboard is enough toe)
-Black sway bar
The set-up is super consistent and fast week in-week out. I like that I have not had to change it in a long time. To adjust your roll stiffness (i.e. if it leans to hard) you can remove shims from the inside camber link locations for minute adjustments. If it is not enough, I change my spring rate by 1lb before I change my shock angles (since changing angles affects damping as well as spring rate).

Found your thread CT, after looking for my 12th scale 
+1 on the pistons, shock mounts and springs.
Switched from Losi #56 pistons few weeks ago and like the consistency better, tolerances on the pistons are better since they are machined too. Looking for nice shock o rings now!
