Hey guys, we will be releasing a new Spring kit for the TC6.2 over the weekend. These new springs are 1mm shorter, for a better range of adjustment and also are now slightly over-sized to 13.5mm, instead of the previous 13.0mm. The new springs will come in 13.0,14.0,15.0 and 16.0 lb springs.
In testing the springs we found the bigger diameter to make the car easier to drive and have better bump compliance. The springs will also be a direct fit to the TC6 shocks without any modification or need for different spring cups.

I agree totally really annoying to mix and match yokomo etc springs I hope team set ups will use AE springs and pistons with the new car 
why is it that the setups posted on RC10 they always have some other brand spring or piston? What standard piston would be comparable to 3x1.1? I'm assuming the biggest maybe I'll run to the store and Losi 56's....Any suggestions what I should try as I plan on small carpet track. My TC6.1 has 47.5/AE Blue/#2 rear and 40/AE Silver/#2 front. I guess I'll do the same.

ae has a few things to get correct with the kit yet such as the rear diff shimming, and the front bearing cap's camber ball studs rubbing with the spool, as well as the battery holder, the battery just slops around in there. i think not making the bumper connect to the front bulkhead was a mistake... i might be breaking a few of those overall the kit seemed to go together fairly well it took me about 4 hours to fully assemble it without electronics. I am looking forward to running this beast around the track to pilot a new winning season of tc
oh i almost forgot to mention it wouldnt be ae without building/gluing the cars inserts in on the suspension components and still having loads of slop before the first run... one day it might work out but as for my 6.1 apparently slop is fast

In the case of my setup with 1.1 x 3 pistons, I am using AE's blank piston set and drilling three 1.1mm holes.
AE Blank Pistons
Using other brand springs gives a finer range of adjustment and sometimes they just work better. The reality is that AE silver springs are the only rate in the AE range that is normally used. In some cases, the blue or green may work but only rarely. RSD makes a wide variety of springs that work perfectly with the TC6.2.

Use O Rings to help remove slop from battery mounting. Most all brand cars have the same amount of slop. Thers is slight slop for many reasons,battery casing sizes will vary slightly,Rules may change in near future slightly.Some prefer loose to avoid tweak ect ect.

Got my 6.2 two Friday's ago and built it per the Box set up. Put on the track Friday at my local track which is a low bit track and ran it in the USGT class and it ran very well. Won the seconded heat and TQed. Led the whole A main from start to finish. Still need to get more grip both front and rear, but not a bad first night.
