Team Associated TC6 Thread
#4561
I barely got to begin to start putting the tc6 together. I started with the shocks first and once finished I noticed the springs free floating. Is this normal? They only tend to have some what of tension once the collars are almost all the way down.

Yup normal, get them on the car and the spring slop will be reduced once you set the droop. Don't forget not to thread the rod end ball cups all the way onto the shock shafts or you may not get full suspension down travel. I think the manual tells you what the overall shock length should be.

And don't forget to make a mark on the top part and ring (permanent marker line will do) before you unscrew the rings, this way you can count how many turns you need to compress the springs and have the same amount for each shock, front/rear , left/right.

thanks guys. so far i spent 4 hours taking my time and i did the shocks, diffs, bulkheads and the axles and ca'd glue the chassis, towers and top plate.
now no matter what i freaking do one of the axle is binding badly. no set screw just the pin in it seems as its getting stuck and it does not spin freely. the other 3 do, but this one stays at one position and it wont budge im thinking defective pin or cva axle?

Seriously, wait for the kit to be supplied with gear diff if this comes out soon, I guess it will be, all other makes do now.
TC5 was and still is a good chassis and Exotek helps a lot for balance.

How far away is everyones drive belt to their battery. I feel like mines going to rub. There is mayybe a .5 mm gap. Is this normal? I feel like somethings not right. The battery brace lines up almost perfectly with the belt. My battery is 46.5 mm wide which is pretty average comparing size of many hardshell 2s lipo. Still waiting on screws that were missing in my kit...
