loose srews??
Had a great time with the car this weekend, had heaps of grip and the car felt awesome.
However after a few runs I'm finding the screws from the top and bottom deck backing up and loosening completely, so I'm having to re-tighten the chassis frequently.
Is this a problem that anyone else has had? Looks like I might have to get out the locktite...
Cheers.. Azza

There really is no need, I thread lock them to "factory" block setting with a gage for anyone preferring to leave them there only. It's best to use a feeler gage between block and chassis to set when you adjust them (to get perfect), then use the top set screw to add just a touch of tension after locking down main screw to prevent it from being able to back out.

For a Tekin 13.5 on boost in my TC5/TC6 I typically use 24/87 48 pitch with 40 boost (5400-20,000 RPM), 14 turbo, 0.5 delay and level 2 turbo. This is with standard size slicks like Sweep EXP on a medium sized outdoor track. Treaded tires are typically a bit taller than slicks so if you're running the treaded tires and boost/turbo drop the pinion a tooth or 2 and check your temps frequently.

Treaded tires are on backwards on the TC6.

Oh and I run as low motor timing as possible. The older Tekin 13.5 motors came factory default around 8 or 12 degrees of motor timing. The newer ones are around 4. I adjust the ring to get as close to 0 on the can marking as possible to get more torque at lower RPMs.

Hey guys just picked up a tc6 and going to start the build. My question is why do the shocks only come with 2 hole pistons?? I would like to use a 3 hole piston. Can I use pistons from another manufactor?? Thanks for the help!!

There is nothing wrong with two hole pistons.
