Team Associated TC5
I started looking but there is a lot to sift through so maybe someone could help. What is the difference between the Factory TC5 and the TC5R. I understand what the difference between the 5R and 5F but don't see the other. Why is there such a huge price gap? Thanks.

one is old and one is new. the r has a itf chassis and top plate for rubber tire racing, thinner.

I did notice that that would slide when the rear did but I also found it easier to control when it did slide other then just pivoting on the front wheels. My track is med bite at best with both on and off camber corners. The whole track is on the side of a hill.

if i were a bettin man i would say u have a oneway from a tc3 which will fit but is much narrower than a tc5 one way
Well I pulled my tc3 one way out and they are different. The tc3 is a lot smaller. I got this new sealed so it has to be right. When tighten down the caps, the side to side movement is greatly reduced, but there is still some there.

tc5 setup
I have been struggeling to get my tc5 to handle well I had it for a race then it went away could anyone tell me where or what pages to look on to find some good asphalt setups. The track I have been running on it old seal coat wairing off and orange soda for traction. I have tried Rick Hohwart's and don't relly like it.

There is no god setup you must play with chassis

It is a shaft car that this guys keeps bragging about that has not won anything at any Major race that people here would care about. Keep hearing from this guys how great this car is when it has not results at a MAJOR race, not some National champ from Siberia as that don't count. We want to see it do something at Snowbirds, IIC, The Worlds (this is where it counts for me as the best around are racing here).

In order to obtain sufficient suspension travel with the high arm mount position, you must shave 1mm or so off of the shock shaft, ball cups and spring retainer. Once you do this, you will have a good amount of travel.
The FT TC5 parts fall between the R and the F kits. The older FT kit comes with the thick chassis and topdeck, but soft suspension parts. It also comes with 2 plastic diffs. The R and F come with the aluminum units.
