Thanks. Could you use the 115 cutting bit to enlarge the motor hole and to remove the material on the sides for the turnbuckles?

Yes you could. I used both because I had them but if you have to buy new bits, then just use the #115 and save some money

Guys,

I am new to electric just started racing them this winter. I have a FTC3 and a T3 we race indoors on carpet. I run the FT in a stock class and my T3 in a 17 turn foam class, this is probably the best class because the guys are so willing to share tips.

What I would like to know is, if there are any good websites out there that I could read up on motors? Basically I want to know how to tune, clean what type of brushes and springs to use. Things like that. Everything that I have read so far is so vague I need some meat. Thanks

im pretty sure i got this off of tony phalens site but im not positive. its by wild hobbies. if u send me an email i can send u one back with it as an attachment or if u want me to paste it in.

Mistercrash what bearing are in the tc3?

Factory Team has the Teflon Bearings.

I think all other TC3's have the Rubber Sealed.

Guys...I have the IRS Aluminum Front Diff. I had to buy it down at snowbirds because I was poping the CVD's out of the Diff down there and that was the only solution I could come up with to fix it. My problem is that now I have 2 hugh gashes in it where the CVD Pins press agaisnt it. What can I do to stop this from happening? I heard of Diff Savers that go over the Pins but I tired that with heat shrink and it was very very hard to get into the Diff and now my drivetrain is not as free as it was without the heatshrink. I use the composite bones.

thanks

Mike Webb, I wouldn't bet on this but the niftech swivel pins might help you.

Even cheaper, just use the IRS pin cushions for the plastic or al outdrives.

Well. I did the NTC3 swing mount steering. Not too difficult, but I would definitely recommend using digital calipers. Made it much easier.

wrong post.

ya i have been using irs pin cusions in the plastic and irs outdrives with excellent results. i think you can but a pack of 4 for 5 bucks or you can get the a set of 4 irs composite bones with the cusions installed for 15.00 i think.

I started out with a TEAM kit so my bearings are rubber sealed.

If you run aluminum outdrives, you need to run the IRS pin cushions.

Steel dogbone pins + aluminum outdrives = not good

I hear you Mike

I'm still using a pair of the non-blue IRS aluminum diff halves. They are 2-3 years old and have no wear because of the pin cushions. Too bad my suspension arms don't last that long.

whats some of the gearing people are using in their TC3's? Example 48 or 64 pitch.. 96 Tooth with 23T pinion
