Thanks Verndog,

I look forward to getting the part number for the diff nuts.

No problem. I've confirmed these fit, I rebuilt a diff using them.

ASC3904 2-56 Locknut

As posted the plastic nut retainer is only available in the outdrive kit.

Well, depending on what borders your track uses, you could try a spool when using the 4*. I have tested a spool on carpet and it was just as fast on the clock, drove better, but front end collisions will usually break the blade on tight carpet tracks unless you have flappers or something like that. The spool will not turn in as good but steer very well coming off the corner. If you can get away with running a spool, you could even try 2* caster.

fatbear, I used the Stealth T-Nut/Thrust bolt kit to rebuild my diff. Works a treat too! I checked the length of thrust bolt against the TC5 and it is exactly the same length. It seemed to me that the T-Nut was a tiny bit smaller width wise. So just be sure to use the bigger of the 2 t-nuts and you will be just fine.

here is the link for the part, hope this helps!

I think I found the solution to my problem. I put too many shims in the back arm mounts. I was using 1*+2* instead of 1*+1.5* Hard to tell the difference in thickness I also added a little toe and Im getting enough steering now. Thanks everyone for your input.

Hey Brandon I"ll try it out and see how it goes. Thanks for the help!

What happened to P-Dub bumpers? Anyone know where I can get some for the TC5?

Thanks

I run my tc5 on carpet in the stock rubber class. My local track is low traction, but I can't seem to loosen my car up enough. When I have went to high grip tracks it just traction rolls. I run the stock chassis and the best it has worked for me was with copper and purple springs. Everyone at my track tells me I'm too stiff. If I soften it up it just seems to have to much bite. Any ideas?

I would agree that you are definitely way to stiff. Sounds like you do not have any chassis roll and the car is just flipping over instead of letting the suspension work. Try softer springs and more uptravel. That should get you going in the right direction and you can start tuning from there.

Post your setup. You could try some of the setups on the AE site. Try the Juho L. rubber tire setup as a starting point.
