Hey guys I just bought a used BMI TC3, The car was in excellent shape. Ive been running the basic team tc3 with hop-ups and its always been awsome. My question is when I normally set ride heights on my team tc3 I get all 4 corners to 5 mm with all 4 spings with the shock collars turned within 1/2 turn of eachother. Now on my bmi tc3 it seems I need to put 1 1/2 turns more in the right side of the car to get 5 mm on all 4 corners. Is this something with a flat chassie compared to a tub?

Don't worry, I noticed that when I switched back to the tub-chassis from a plate chassis

John...I would re-build all the shocks to make sure their rebounding the same...and shuffel them around...also get new springs or at least switch the old ones around to the other side to see if it has any effect.....All of my BMI chassis cars have the "near" same position on the shock collar.....with uniform ride height and zero tweak..............Joe B

Jason, I'm sending you my cleaning bill in the mail. When I opened the UPS box this afternoon I CRAPPED myself in excitement when I saw that spankin' new blue BMI TC3 Chassis! This thing is beautiful! Keep up the good work, it's a really great quality product. Now I just need to race it. I'll give you my impressions.
