Team Associated TC5
I just take the top plate off, and take the spur gear side layshaft cam off. no diff needs to be removed
so do I, but these guys have different rear bulkheads that require one bulkhead be removed.

I haven't really paid much attention to this thread as I am an offroader in the summer. What's the benefit of flipping the belts? What's needed to do it or is it literally just flipping the diff's and the layshaft? Will the oneway still work with flipping the belts?

I see that you use the TRF shocks on the TC5, I was considering this too, my car doesnt really handle the bumps as well as I would like.
My question is, what adjustments to the mounting brackets for the TFR shocks need to be made? Can I use the ballcups and upper mounts from my current TC5 shocks?
Cheers

You can also mod it so you can have your servo perpendicular to your chassis, if you're using a lpf servo you will have much more room for your electronics.

TC5R Mods.
Hey guys just wanted to post this up here. I was able to carefully grind out my factory motor mount, move it inline with rear bulkhead, flip my belts (which made pinon change easier as well as allow for more centered weight), and moved my servo like Keven's car! I noticed a big difference while balncing the car left to right. I was able to put weight where I WANTED it as opposed to where I NEEDED it! Big Difference! If anyone would like more pictures I will post them! Let me know!

I would like to see pics with the motor out
If you notice the top plate screw on the left bulkhead it has been screwed through the top plate, the bulkhead, then finally into the motor mount. Giving the motor mount three points of contact. After I was finished I put the car on a tweak board and all was well!

At the rate in which everyone is moving to the Exotek chassis and modifying/buying new bulkheads perhaps Associated should investigate making a TC5R-LS (lipo spec).
Changes could be:
-Narrow rear bulkheads
-New chassis (narrower, modified for new bulkheads, lipo weights included, optional holes for the Keven servo mod)
-New upper deck for the narrow bulkheads
-Revised one-way in which the pulley could easily be mounted for a flipped belt configuration
-Revised steering to optionally allow for Keven servo mod
-Anything else?
Other changes could include:
-More flexible belts??
Seems like it could even be offered as an upgrade kit.

How did you do the servo mod? Can you give me steps? Im looking to do it in mine. Thanks
