Team Associated TC6.2 Touring Car

Good to know about the tc4 ARM mod.....

I guess the geometry changed (maybe not the rollcenter in first place) and gets closer to what Yokomo has.
My own experience before was that you can make the car very fast with stock parts, but it was never as smooth and consistent to drive. So after the change it is much better on the long run. Just more predictable, consistent and forgiving. And for us good but normal guys this can easily bring 1-2 seconds on a five minute run.

a shorter arm will change the shock mounting position on the arm which changes the angle and depending on how much the resting length of the shock which will affect the pre-load necessary to maintain ride height as well as damping properties of the shock. The shorter arm with the same inner hinge points will affect camber change at the hub, speed/re-activeness of the arm to bumps, etc etc etc... i dont think i'm even 5% into what the changes do overall... just to one side of the rear suspension and not getting into how that affects the overall car.
that's part of the magic of tuning, i'm pretty sure 95%+ of us do not have the tools and equipment to actually test an isolated change without making a change in the overall setup.

So the tc7 will be a total other car. New arms, hubs, other LG steering rack, undepended from floating Servo, new shoks... Improved Swaybar system... I'm exited...

I am not sure myself, as I didn't measure the changes. I just copied what Randy and Rick revealed in pictures on redrc.

I would imagine that the new plastic on the TC7 will bring the TC6.2 up to the modified geometry so it might be prudent to wait for the new parts from AE to be in stock. I would imagine the new arms and hubs will be a direct fit if AE maintains their usual rev release philosophy.

question is, would the new car have the same bodypost positions, because i will make at ones, some new body's for this winter and next season these days...

On carpet it gave too much steering. Otherwise it runs very well

short camberlinks, arms in extreme rear possition, must be a lot of steering indeed. :-)
