I have now weighed all the drivetrain parts and found that my current lightweight parts are close enough to the lightest they can ever be in order not to really lose any significant power on the track....See you all at Wagner Rc Park.....

Finally changed my gearing and used my Dynotech Racing alloy clutchbell and had a run on Friday night. Car was a lot better and again lowered my best lap times. Was leading final with 6 minutes to go and driveline locked up. Later inspection revealed a screw holding the spur gear on and came out and wedged itself between both gears.
Have noticed two grooves being worn into clutchbell from clutch shoes, not sure if this is because of issue in final with screw or just because of the softer material than the original clutchbell.

grams or so with the aluminum bell...

Is OP still looking to race this car? Its been almost 10 years since this thread was started. I have seen some new TC3 kits floating around for sale if he wants to rebuild one, but for racing, I wouldn't say its a very competitive car compared to what's out there now and I used to race the TC3 back in the back as my backup car.

The OP had great success once he geared his tc3 with the dynotech racing 19t/25t with 54/48 spurs...Associated only had their cars way overgeared for .12 motors and racing on a standard track...Aim at 7.1fdr/4.8fdr and you will be competitive....Centax style clutches are around 40grams compared to 23g-29g for two shoe/three shoe clutches with aluminum endbells...

A few more changes gave the Ntc3.2 a bit more performance: AE muffler nipple installed, TNR 30% fuel 8% oil used, new header seal, left side carbon fiber brace, exhaust pressure line aluminum cooler, transmission gearboxes loosened for reduced losses, trackwidth set at exactly 200mm....More to come soon....
