4 deg are standard, 6 deg makes for a smoother steering, I would recommend to try 6 deg, you will see some difference, have a look at some of the setup sheet from Rick or Keven with 6 deg blocks

I guess no one is running a Losi JRX-S front? Or a Tamiya 416 front belt?
Guess I might have bought a one of a kind...

I have heard of guys running Losi parts before, never tried them myself, as for belts, AE are really strong and last very well, but if you can find the same pitch and teeth belt, it makes no difference about the make.
I just bought this new-to-me TC5. Man, the guy running it had a HIGH setup. Well, it looks strange to me anyway. This is what he was running on carpet. Does this make sense to anyone? I'm pretty new at this, but I do know its far from the stock set up. I don't know whether to run it and see how it does, or take it back to the manual's original set-up and go from there. I notice he's got single dot up front and double dot in the rear.

What was he running it in and what are you planning on running it in? The rear is stock (2 dots) except his droop. But again it can really depend on what class/motor he was running. If your running it the same "class" as he was Id try it and see if it works for you. If not take it back to stock set up and work from there.

2 dots is the stock setup in the rear, but it looks like it is in the top hole (B) instead of the bottom hole (A). (A) Being the stock setup.
I would put the entire car back on the stock setup and tune from there. Too many things look jacked to me.

indyhobbies, I would change the wheel nuts too on your car.
Maybe he run that setup for a real low, glued to the carpet setup, fine on really smooth carpet but if you get bumps...
Do you also have silver springs on front or are they gold?

Anyone used these packs yet? How was the runtime and which motor were you using?

Yep, its in the top (B) hole. I think I will just "stock" it for now. If I run out of time, then I will get my electronics mounted and run it once just to see what it does. Then, go back to stock.

So I am struggling to rebuild the ball diff. I guess like many people I am having a time getting the screw to catch the thread on the nut. Just wonder any tips on compressing the spring?
Also what diff grease do you guys use on the front? Normal silicon diff grease or something thick like the anti-wear gear?

Two thing to build the diff. Stand a largerdriverup on the desk and push the dif down on it as youtry to thread the bolt or slidr a driver across the outdrive slot and squeeze as you drive the bolt.
Though i find pushing down to work best. Just dont slip lol. Hurts.

indyhobbies, yes if your nuts looks that bad, my guess is that the rubber insert are gone too.
