If you run TRC's on a 12L3 or Yok, you need to grind down the lower rear pod plate to allow clearance for the tire. TRC's are a different offset than Jaco's. Jaco's mount flush with the hub. TRC's are offset into the wheel alittle. That's why they rub on certain cars. My RugRat is slightly trimmed for this. Just get a dremel with sanding drum and go over the lower pod a couple passes til it clears. Simple, fast, easy. Just don't forget to go over it with superglue on a QTip to seal it back up.

As for Yok setup, I ran .020 springs (AE4113), thicker plate (or spring steel), Purple Front, Gray Rear, and Askari Body. 10° caster with shims to the back. 4 shims above upper arm, 2 shims under upper (kingpin). Batteries back with weight added on the rear tabs on the chassis (don't remember how much, but enough to get it at min weight). Slight toe out, with -1° ~ -1.5° camber. After that I went with a RugRat since I'll be at the Birds.

i just built up a rug rat w/ trc's and had no clearence problems, are you guys getting a correct center point measurment on the car and what are you setting rear width to? mines dead on at 6.75" w/ calandra pod plates(which are narrow) and theres plenty of clearence after it was shimmed correctly. not saying your doing something wrong but i know several others w/ rugrat and l3 cars running trc's and never run into that.
