Quick Overview
Taken from Redrc.net
Team C Racing introduces the TC02C Evo mid motor 2WD buggy kit. Based on the proven TC02C, the Evo variant received a new 8mm longer composite chassis, 12mm big bore aluminium shock absorbers, a front aluminium arm mount, and a rear anti-roll bar. The new design chassis is designed for the use with shorty, saddle pack or square pack LiPo battery packs while the 4-gear transmission is equipped with a heavy duty gear differential and a machined aluminium heatsink motor plate. The kit is topped off by a new cab forward bodyshell.

Build/Tuning Tips
Originally Posted by RoyJ
- My 21T motor pinion did not want to mesh completely with the 80T spur, so I did have to machine/Dremel the motor plate's adjustment slots to be 2.5-to-3mm longer. Now I can slide the motor closer to the spur, and can even use the 75T or 77T option spurs.
- The Gear Differential seemed a little notchy after the screws were tightened down. I added an extra diff gasket #T02153 which made the diff smooth as butter, even with 3Kwt oil. After trying 700wt, then 2K and 3K, I have returned to 1K and see no need to change it in most track conditions. It now feels much like a brand new fully greased ball-diff run extremely loose, but with no chance of slip/barking. With the extra gasket in the diff, there is no more excess mechanical friction from the overtightened internal mesh, so the diff oil stays cleaner longer, which will extend maintenance intervals.
The included inserts for TU0269 allow you to adjust toe-in and anti-squat. Toe is adjusted laterally, and anti-squat vertically.
Toe Adjustment:
*The inside-dot insert position provides 1 degrees of toe-in, for less cornering stability; best for carpet or high-traction conditions, where more corner rotation is needed.
*The center-dot insert position provides a stock position of 2 degrees of toe-in.
*The outside-dot insert position provides 3 degrees of toe-in, for more stability while braking and cornering; best for loose track conditions. (If used with +1deg rear hubs, the car can become twitchy due to too much toe-in.)
Anti-Squat Adjustment:
*When the inserts dot is in the upper position, regardless of toe angle, it provides 1 degree of anti-squat, which is best for bumpy-grippy conditions.
*When the insert dot is in the middle position, regardless of the toe angle, it provides 2 degrees of anti-squat, the stock position.
*When the insert dot is in the lower position, regardless of toe angle, it provides the maximum 3 degrees of anti-squat, which is best for super-smooth, high-grip or carpet conditions, where wheelies can be too easy due to high rear grip.

Q: What is needed to run a ball diff in this vehicle?
A: The best solution at the moment would be to run a ball diff assembly from a B5 or B5M. The out drives have a seat for the bearings that is approximately the same width as the Team C gear diff. There is a very small amount of play once it's installed in the gear box but it's nothing some shimming can't fix. I used the entire ball diff including hardware, rings and balls.
Stay tuned, more to come.
