springs
Do springs make a big difference? I just bought the 9 pairs because they were on sale ($18), but I still got the rtr plastic shocks.

Re: First real race

Well guys, I just completed my first real race. What an expirance. I am used to bashing in lots with hoses, but boards are another animal. Tc3 did well. I met FastHarry there and he is a good guy. His car is real nice. Emaculate. Wish mine was as nice. Anyway we both did not bad in the A main and finished 3rd and 4th. Not bad for 2 guys who never raced with boards. Let me tell you, bashing is one thing and it is fun, but try a 1/2 hr straight main, where if you make a mistake it could be the end of the day for you. A whole new level for me. Oh yeah, 235s ran with us, but none made it to the A main for some reason.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for some part numbers for stuff I'd like to do to the car.
- Lunsford titanium rear toe links (if these exist, I heard they did)
- hardened hinge pins (from anywhere)
- good bumper (RPM? BRP?)
- whichever spring people use in the swing rack
I think that's all for now. Thanks!

I saw that thing mounted on a tc3 at the WRAM show in feb.....looked interesting..he had a working one on a traxxas truck....the thing that bothered me wasll the extra pressure was REALLY foaming the fuel in the tank....NOT good for the tc3...
the good news is that he is also working on a 4 stroke conversion kit for the tc3..
