If you have a crash, the washers don't permit to move the plastic bumper and forces to absorb the impact (one word of caution: this can stress the body posts, but that's another story).

What type of tape is that lining the center and left edge of the car?

The tape you see in the center of the chasis is for preventing deadshorts (the chassis is the graphite one). Is plain fibeglass tape used by some 1/12 racers to keep the batteries on the car.

I ran electrical tape on the critical points to prevent shorting. I would have to second the threadless shock option. I only recently scavenged the shocks off the FTTC3 to place them on my semi-FT TC3. The older of the two TC3's was blueprinted and its drivetrain is extremely free. I will run it in place of my XRAY next year.

64 pitch
Hey guys I would like to switch to 64 pitch gears since I have a nice collection of the RR SuperLite Purple pinions off my Pro2. I had problems getting certain gearing to work on the Pro2 since you didn't have a lot of room on the motor plate for adjustment. I'm hoping someone knows what range of 64P gears work before you can no longer get a proper mesh. Also maybe give me some recommendations on what size I should get. I gave all my 64P spurs away with my Pro2 so I can't really check myself. Thanks for any help guys.

Thanks Corse_R
Thanks for such a quick response! Okay I'll stay under the 104 tooth mark like you. I hate trying to find info on the TA site, its spread out all over the place. The biggest spur I'll get will be a 100T. You've helped a lot.

I didn't think about the foam idea. My AE FTT3 uses the foam strips also. I am on my way to the LHS now and will look for it, electrical tape is too messy.

No offense Type-S, but there is sooo much information on here and the rest of the web, that you really need the Acrobat Reader. It's a very useful application and really raises the level of quality prints you can get for things like set up sheets. I know it takes a while to download, but set it to start when you go to bed or something.
Happy Racing,
