I also picked up a TC02 Evo (2wd 10th scale buggy) from Jeremy Blair here on RC Tech and have the same opinion of him.

This weekend was the first time ive ran my team C buggy at the toys for tots charity race at reveation raceway in montclair Ca. showed up nice and early so i could practice alittle bit before the race due to rain all week so i could go practice and test with the car.So i desided to just sow up with it and practice i the morning..I ran about 4 tanks of fuel threw it in the morning before i started changing anything..i changed a couple af things such as hub spacing and rear camber link threw qualifying nothig else..I felt faster with the car right off the bat just inconsistant..so i qualified 4th overall i was amazed..lol So going into the main,i got a bad start fell back to 10th,caught all the way up to 3rd and about 12 minutes in,I clipped a pipe and stripped the plastic servo horn on the steering nd was forced to retire.. is there an aluminum upgrade???But overall,Im really diggin the car..has sooo much more cornerspeed.I just need to get used to driving a narrow,light platform again.

Here are some pics of results and my car

yea skirkman, if you shorten the rear hub spacing all the way forward and set up ackerman in the rear holes, this buggy turns on a dime! I was finding myself needing less steering on a super tight track i raced on yesterday. Have fun with it and if you need any tips or help feel free to contact me.

As for the servo horn, you can get any aftermarket one. i personally use the racers edge. just obviously make sure its the correct number of teeth for your servo.


@Roy J. Sorry man that's m2c's video and i dunno whats up with the protection

this weekend i raced at rev, in ontario CA. the whole week had bad rain. lucky for us racers this track doesnt flood that bad. the crew got the track open at 7:30 in the morning, saw a couple team mates with there Team c T8 buggies. i raced my T8E and T8. i ended up taking TQ in my T8E. nitrocar had a very good run going in round 1 but just cought a hole and fell way behind the top drivers. 2 round was slower due to the track conditions got worse. in the main events i lead the whoe e buggy race with a 20 second lead. In nitro i started 7th =(. lap one i was in 3rd place right behind the leaders. mad a mistake and fell back again. everyone was within a few seconds of eachother for the first 7 minutes. after pits stops everyone started to spread out. i missed a lap some how ( got that fixed after the race was over) i drove hard the last 15 minutes of the race to take home 4th place. only a second behind 3rd place. should have done better but im stoke concidering how my year went. i learned alot over this weekend with the team c cars. now i know what i need to go practice on.

Default TEAM C JOYSTICK REAR HINGE PIN SUPPORT SYSTEM FROM M2C RACING



M2C RACING is pleased to announce the release of the WORLD'S MOST ADJUSTABLE REAR HINGE PIN SUPPORT SYSTEM.
6 months in testing, this system will allow you to physicially move the hinge pin in or out , up or down up to 1 mm to fit your particular track conditions.
With the use of our custom designed tapered ball hinge pins.The arms and hinge pins float freely in the bushings, reducing friction for quicker suspension response.
The insert are made using DELRIN material which has proven to last many times longer than tradational injected inserts that come with most vehicles.
80 custom designed DELRIN CNC MACHINED inserts give you much more adjustment than most stock kits so you can dial in the set up that fits your
driving style.

CAUTION: THE WIDE OFFSETS MAY NOT BE ROAR LEGAL UNLESS YOU USE
A NARROWER WHEEL HEX.

DUE TO THE EXPENSE OF MAKING THIS KIT, IT WILL ONLY BE AVIALABLE
THROUGH M2C RACING AND A FEW SELECT DEALERS.

I know the pill selection looks overwhelming but if you read the instructions and watch the youtube video you will be able the dial in the car and make fine tune adjustments at the track. i like my system it helps with the different size tracks, conditions, and layouts, its an advantage on all buggies and truggies. make sure you take your time to read and understand the adjustments that way you get the full effect of your car. also the weights for the rear of the car make it more stable in rough track conditions and help aid with forwad bite too.
