I'm guessing thats the main factor for the setup differences.

His TITC setup is better suited for a high grip track, in extremely hot weather, with a pretty flowing layout.

(1) So I think what your saying fits in with my assumptions but for a slightly different reason at Speedworld.

(2) Therefore,
-- lo-med grip track > start with RROC at Speedworld setup
-- med-hi grip track > start with TITC at RCS setup

(3) I'm using a modified RROC setup, on a lo-med grip track, and it works well.

(4) I'll also be running on a med-hi grip outdoor asphalt track (emphasis on hi grip initially) in a month or so. I have a "spare parts" TC which is now going to become my "TC #2" car. I'll be able to keep one car for each track (I think I have enough spares to go around). So, if I start with TITC at RCS setup, what changes should I make given that:
-- Winter = 13-20 degrees C
-- Summer = 30-40 degrees C
-- Other Seasons = 20-30 degrees C

Note: I have ordered some Trinity Tire Tweak, and some Paragon FXII tire traction compounds (have not used either before). I already have some Muchmore tire warmers. I'm running Sorex 32R tires + B medium inserts, on Speedmind rims (which I will have to live with, as I have quite a few sets).

(5) Oh, and what 10.5T Brushless motor do you recommend
-- I need to get another one (currently own Tekin 10.5 Redline)
-- I like the Tekin 10.5 Redline, but am not so keen on the LRP X11 Stock Spec 10.5 (purely based on forum readings).

Thanks in advance
