understanding tcx
hello guys,
I have several questions about this car:
1.- I have notice that the suspension arm are reversible, I would like someone explain me how to get the maximum of this, they have 2 ways of installing and I would like to know in which situations do I have to put the arm in other position.
2- ther are no "low-grip" setup sheet, does anybody have setup for asphalp very low grip track, please? I have look for them and I only found 3 or 4 setup sheets
3- I have a lot of troubles understanding the roll center in this car, can anybody tell me why should I put shims under the blocks right out the box? the car is a little bit undrivvable...
thank you guys!

The TCX is race ready right out of the box. Here are some hop-ups that are important IMHO
-3 hole 1.1mm shock pistons
-Steel 46mm dogbones (when Hotbodeis releases them
)
-Hotbodies titanium tie rods (strengthens the car)
-Some Pink and Blue HPI springs

I have 2 sets on order but they just shipped today from overseas - supposedly I'll get them mid-July...Not sure if i'll swap them out right away or wait until the 3Racings one i have breakeither way, for the price they aren't too bad - still not quite as good of a deal as the 3Racing ones (set of 4 for about the same price - versus set of 2)
