I usually run dragsters so I am no expert with on-road cars. I've been playing around with VRC for a few months. It got me interested in on-road so I bought a TC4 Team kit. I finally got it all together about 4 hours before the race. No time to put it on a tweak board or set-up stand so I just eyeballed it. Then I got to the track late and only got 4 laps of practice. So I wasn't expecting much. To my suprise I won all the qualifiers by 2 laps Tq'd won the main by the same 2 laps and took fastest lap. I was running stock. I think the many hours I've spent with the VRC sim helped a bunch but this car is so sweet right out of the box. I checked the set-up when I got home and every wheels camber was different all the droops were different and I had one shock with too little oil in it. I immediatly ordered the factory team conversion and put that on tonight. I can't wait to see how it handles with a proper set-up on the car. All in all I think this is the perfect car for starting out in electric on-road. Its so forgiving, stable, and fast. Thanks AE couldn't ask for a better experience.

The FT TC4 is a little more consistant for me vs the stock TC4. I really like the FT as it is very adjustable and I can use one car g\for all surfaces if I choose to run carpet. I mainly run asphalt but it will easily be adjustable over to carpet. We will see how good my TC4 is weekend as I go to a track this week with some faster guys and I can compare my laptimes at this track plus I know what times I ran when I had my Corally so it should be intersting.

Will see what happens. I think most of the guys are funning their new 38's with the big voltage but I still need to use my 33's for another week or two and then I will be good to go. Still not a big deal if my car is dialed. I'm more intersted in my lap times and how consistant the car is at this point in time. I will be working on my car alot tonight and tommorrow.

Dude I'm telling you that batteries doesnt matter if you can drive that line!!! Schreff ran on 4 cells and only lost about 4 tenths. Your 3300's have to be better than a 4 cell pack

Yeah thats true. I did pick up my parts but I gave my buddy the wrong part number so no one way for me this weekend unless my buddy sees one at the hobbyshop he is going to today has one in stock. Oh well the spool will have to due this weekend.

Hey thats an idea. I will buy it from you. I can meet with you Friday someplace. I'm not off work but since I do sales I can just setup an appointment and meet you. I can meet you down your way if you like. Maybe we can meet at B&B Yamaha in Lancaster. Not sure what time you will be up but they open at 10.

What pitch pinions and spur should be used with a TC4? What range of pinions should be used?

AM03GT

iTrader: (13)

pitch is totally your preference...

48 pitch tends to be more durable but make the transmission a bit louder.

64 pitch has smaller drive ratio differences between pinions so some like to use it to get "more" gearing options.

with 48P (72T SPur) i run 24-26 pinion in stock (monster based), 30-32 pinion in 19T (Reedy Quad-Mag), and 20-21 pinion with mods (Reedy Ti 8x2, Neo-star BL)
