1 x 6465 shock piston kit
1 x 31140 ITF chassis
1 x 31141 ITF top deck
1 x 31220 1.0 degree rr hub
1 x 31179 Spool kit
1 x 31175 Spool Pulley
2 x 3944 TC3/4 gold spring (19.5lb)
2 x 3943 TC3/4 blue spring (17.0lb)

All of the above items will turn the TC5 into a 'weapon' on asphalt with rubber tires. The most important items are the chassis/topdeck and spool.

Team CRC guide to chassis prep
The CRC guide is a GREAT!!!
The most important thing to do is to make sure that the edges are all smooth and rounded off (and that the main deck/chassis is glued, I do not glue/seal my top decks, shock towers in order to prevent possible tweaking from the change in dimensions that the gluing/sealing process can cause.)
Equipment needed:
* 600-800 grit sand paper
* Thin CA glue (with applicator - very fine tips)
* cotton buds
* motor spray (to clean carbon fibre after sanding - removing residue)
* lint free cloth
Hope this helps.
Leonard.

I noticed on the list of parts for asphalt that there is a 1.25mm sway bar listed. The pictures that I've seen and the description of the kit show sway bars. don't they come with the kit?
