You have to build the diff so it has a thick diff action . You build the diff either ball or gear with AW grease . It's that sticky silver grease made by Tamiya. If your building a ball diff ,you tighten it all the way down . Then maybe back it off a hair. If your building a gear diff , you add one extra shim inside the diff case . Then adjust the three diff case screws to set how thick the diff resistance is . The diff should be thick enough that if you put the car on it's side ,give it throttle and turn the steering the car should right itself.

New series
As I prepare for the new point series, I wanted to take a moment to thank TEAM RED DOT for all their work, and the prizes of last series. You guys do a big part in keeping RC fun, cheap and open to new racers. THANK YOU!

SS at TCS
Casey, Ray K, Doc, Larry;
(does that sound like 4 of the 7 Dwarfs?)
“Inquiring minds want to know”
1. Will there be a “Senior Spec” (SS) Class offered at the March TCS race at “The C”
2. If so, what will be the rules for, tires , bodies, gearing , etc.
3. What will the SS “sign up” procedures be? Through TSC website? At the track?
4. Will a Senior Spec entry count against your TCS entry limit of 2?
5. When will the handout motors be available? Night before? When the doors open? 1 Hour before first heat?
- We’re less than 60 days from race date
- Need to give folks as much time as possible to round up the necessary “bits and pieces.
- Need to post the info both here and on the TCS thread so any interested “out of towners” can be informed.
Later,
Rod
