Greetings:

What low friction belts are being used in the TC6???? I can remember the Tamiya 416 front belt being used in the TC5.... Thanks in advance

It still fits like the Yokomo BD-516 front belt.

Does anyone know a rear belt that will fit?

i personally dont like the slipper spool, it keeps comming loose on me even though i build it exactly as the manual says and threadlock the screw and nut it still comes loose, i know it comes down to my throttle control and damage control.

I have the TiR spool in my tc5 and love it, have ordered the litemodz one for my tc6 so hope its just as good.

That's too bad, I haven't had any problem with mine after three months with races every weekend and practice once a week. Let us know how the litemodz one works out for you though.

my bet would be that either you skipped a washer somewhere, either on the thrust bearing side where there should be two, or on the spring side where there should be one between the spring/plastic.... even without lock tight, mines fine after 4 months of 500+ laps a week 13.5 boosted....

only my servo saver needs to be retightened from time to time, but only in my super stock for some reason...

Same here no issues with the slipper spool after four months. Even though I opened it three times it wont loosen.
Therefor the servosaver comes off quiet often lately (every four to five training days)...

change the nut....the metal is actually too soft. i can strip and then loosen at random times.
AE makes another nut with the cap...offroad version. white plastic with an embedded nut...works fantastic. I don't have the part number at this moment.. but will look for it...
change this and it will never loosen.

Carpet NATS!!!!

from CML, regarding slipper spool.
"So moving onto the front spool. The TC6 comes with a slipper spool, which is built in the same way as the TC5. For this time of year with everyone racing indoors on small tracks this is ideal, it saves braking drive shafts and blades as it can slip slightly during a crash. On a big tracks where this is less likely you can build it without any slip. I glue some 800 grit wet 'n' dry to each side of the slipper pads. This gives the pad extra grip and removes the slipper spool action. Be careful when fitting the spool back into the car as certain wet 'n' dry can be thicker than others so it can make the spool slightly wider. You can remove the small silver shim from each side of the spool to allow for this, make sure the diff spins freely once fitted."

Some photos of mine, more to come (was too lazy to edit more photos)

No issues with mine, but when its time to replace I will use part number 6575 for sure.

that is the part...best 3 bucks I've ever spent on RC.
I used this with the TC5 and now in the TC6.
part is absolutely stout.

if you're building a new kit...do yourself a favor and get it...will save you time and headaches.

i'll let you know if i ever get my litemodz spool :P to be fair it has only been about 4 weeks though

Hi,

I have noticed my TC6 has quiet bad vibration when turning from half to full lock. This is mainly when at full speed. It seems with the wheels off the vibration isn't really noticeable but with the wheels on it's like the car is shaking apart.

Badly balanced wheels?
maybe the cvd's binding?
or is this normal when under load?

Thanks,

Carl
