I was looking at getting the TC6 to start with. It looks like a typical awesome AE car.
Can you suggest some parts (by part number) to have on hand because my hobby shop doesn't really stock much and if I break on race day it is game over. Just a list of some good to have parts and parts that need replacing to keep the car tight and race ready.
Also, I wanted to get a castle creation ESC and motor. but not totally against getting something else. Can you suggest a size because KV and turn is kinda confusing. The track is not huge or anything. I think the avg laptime is around 25 seconds or so. Is a hitec 7940 overkill for the steering? any suggestions, was also considering the Savox.
Also, any very "good to have or really improved hop ups" that are highly recommended?
I am excited to finally give on-road a shot. I thank you in advance.
What class? 17.5, 13.5 or mod???
Spares, the normal, arms both front and back (Hard) C-hubs, both front and back hubs. On the C-hubs, get a set of 6 degree and 4 degree. Different shock oils for different setups... The real question is what are the fast boys setup for the TC6 at your track? I would strongly recommend Rick's Setup from the National (I have attached it), it is really good on med traction track...
improvements, hope no one gets upset, but i really like the Reflex springs as they are 1lb difference, which is allows for a better tuning with the new weights we have to run.
