So are the bone blades a good thing to get? My kit was the FT and it doesn't come with them. Something has gotta give when it comes to comes to wear and tear, it's normal for cars both 1:1 and 1:10 have parts that gotta be replaced more often then others.

Been running the TC5R for a few weeks now. I must say I been out of touring for a few years but after running the car for a few weeks I find it really steers well most of the time. So much so that this week on the outdoor track I was at even with good tires I had mad steering.
Car seems a little on the stiff side with #57 pistons and 35wt oil in it with Assoc blue front springs and Assoc silver springs. I run 2A roll center blocks all the way around. Car overall seems just a little bouncy of the some of the rough stuff compared to others at are track. Need to work on that a little but as well.
Wonder if it is better to use Associated #2 pistons and 35 instead if they are overall just at touch softer. Still messing with the car and learning it so next time out a few more changes and see what happens. Been fun so far.

4 deg vs 6 deg front caster
What effect does changing the front caster fron 4 deg to 6 have on the car?

I found on really high bite tracks 6 degree blocks are smoother to drive but most of the tracks I go to are medium traction where 4 degree blocks work better.

4 degree blocks have more steering entering the corner and a little less middle exit steering on power. 6 degree blocks are just the opposite. A little smoother on off power entry steering and more middle/exit on power steering.

If it's a pic of a team drivers car, it might be something that they could be testing. Or maybe they're white because someone is trying the yokomo diff pulleys. I'm pretty sure the front belt off the Yokomo car fits the TC5, why not the pulleys too? Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.
Would be interesting to know what sort of difference these make

Trains and Lanes on a medium grip track. Car wasn't too bad but I did have mad on power steering that would rip the back end where ever I wanted it to go. I was working on getting more rear traction.
I'm going ot order the Diggity offset lipo tray as that will balance out my car even more and expect will help with the overall smoothness of my car. Its still a work in progress and I didn't barely scratch the surface of the things I want try try with the car yet but over the next few weeks I will be going back to T&L to work on the car. Going to Frederick is nice but with the high traction it don't really help me when other than that track most don't have near that kind of traction so learning about getting traction in the car don't really do me any good.
Overall still very happy with the car, I just need to learn what it wants vs some of my other cars I had. Plus running brushless just adds to learning setups even more for the car so I have a different learning curve now than I was use to when I quit running touring almost 3 years ago.

I was surprised to see the associated ball cups. I hate those things. So crappy/flimsy. I like to think I'm fairly gentle with these and I broke 2 in the first month, just working on the car (not even racing). The RPM ones feel so much stronger and have less play.
