Great night of practice and I've got to give the TC4 credit, it did pretty well. It can take a beating for sure. Still struggling with grip but it's amazing what you can do with transmitter settings!

After being returned to 95% factory kit settings I was able to actually get a feel for the grip level and even induce oversteer to get around corners. Not a good idea but good for learning.

The only problems were: popped a YR shock eyelet off, steering servo came loose and I was thrilled to see that tiny hole in the chassis allowing me to tighten it, I lost a rear CV pin/barrel/set screw. Amazingly, I was able to find all three CV parts out on the track within about 3 feet of each other! Put it all back together and back to practice I went.

The amount of slop in the drivetrain is shocking and seems to be getting worse. Every ball/cup connection is loose. Diff is holding up extremely well and is still silky smooth. After numerous trips to the wall and end of straight head on collisions from other cars, no parts have been broken. Impressive!
