Thank you, maxepower.
I'll start with the 31 I already have and tune from there.
I had been running my TC3 with 48p and don't have a collection of 64p yet.

Saturday night should be the debut of my stock TA05. The only modifications I will make are:
- Foam tires
- Different shock oil, but stock plastic shocks (probably 70/50)
- Hex screws
- 27t stock motor
- 64p spur and pinion

If I get the Mercedes body painted in time, I'll even run the kit body. Otherwise I'll ream extra holes in an older Alpha or something else I have hanging around.

I know it won't be ideal, but I want to see how the stock kit compares to the TC3 I was running (FT with IRS diffs/CVDs, etc...) and see how it runs with the Xrays and RDXs at the track.
I expect I'll add sway bar(s) and possibly change the shocks at some point.

This thread has been instrumental in convincing me to try this kit and I'm sure there will be lots of help when I need it
