Man I feel stupid. I did not realize there was any adjustment there on my GTB2. I think everything was reset to the default after I did the throttle epa settings and yes I am running a spool.

Not to interrupt the drama of tires MIA, but can some people chime with an average timing and fdr for their 25.5? I believe I am a little off the pace and would feel much better in knowing which direction I should go with my motor and gearing. I am running an fdr of 3.93 and timing one mark from being maxed out on a 96 x 40 track and it feels as if my punch is lacking and my top speed is close, but not quite there. Any advise or pointers would be great. THANKS!
Have you cycled your battery packs to check the IR? Have you checked the numbers on your stator to see how close or matched they are? Have you dyno tested your motor and then dyno tested at each tick mark on timing to see where it performs the best?
Sorry 429 completely using you to mess with some of the others on this thread.
I will tell you on a 70x45 track I am geared at 3.4 FDR, single large Novak fan pulling heat away from motor taped to chassis (nothing attached to motor) and temp is about 145-155 after 8min race.

Agreed! This is what I want to pick up for the new vta ride I'm building! Did the VTA guys clear it and add it to the approved list, or will that happen closer to the release date?

Especially since the startup costs involve buying a (new) motor/esc combo at 3-4x the price of a used TC3 chassis . This is something I would definitley buy when building my third VTA for my younger son as its price point places it comfortably within reach of families/racers on a tight budget.
Ok, Picked up a TC4 to run our local VTA class. I searched this thread, I searched the TC4 thread, and searched on line, and can't seem to find a good starting setup for the TC4 chassis. Am I missing something? Anyone have a link to a good starting setup?
Thanks,

First if your track low traction or high?
My Setup
Front
Blue springs
35 wt oil
stock pistons
2nd outside hole up and outside hole rear
-.5 camber
4 degree caster blocks
.025 shim under the trailing a-arm block
2nd from longest upper camber link 2mm shim under ball stud
Rear
silver springs
30wt
stock pistons
second from inside hole up and outside arm
2.5 degree toe in block
.025 shim under forward a-arm block
Longest upper camber links with 1mm shim under ball stud
-1.5 degrees camber on worn tires but fresh I use about 2-2.5 but I have to play with it to get the traction I want
Our Track starts off low/medium traction, but has pretty good traction by the main.
Thanks for the setup. I did plan on running those springs and 35 weight oil all around, but will pick up some 30 for the rear before racing Saturday.
Thanks again for a starting point.

100 spur / 50 pinion gives you a 4.0...any 50% combination will give you a 4.0 which is a good starting point
