Team Associated TC5R 67%-new setup

Chassis introduction:This is still a WIP setup.i have changed the gearing for cs by underdriving the front and reducing the rear overdrive.i believe that the car will be very different to me now.a little test on tiles showed very tail happy results.i will see how it goes on asphalt.

Nice chassis and steering angle. what did you do to get so much throw left/right, & howd you do your velcro body mount. got any video of it in action?

Thanks rudeboy!.First i shaved the c-hubs,steering blocks and put the drb driveshafts in.Then i drilled the tc6 steering blocks not behind the upper ballstud but more outer as you can see.Take note that on full steering i don't have any chattering and if i use kick-up,inner wheel has more lock!
DRB driveshafts require 10x5 bearings.stock tc5 has 10x6 so i found that using tc6 steering blocks everything comes together nice and tight!
As for velchro,i did it myself with some stuff i had left from body posts,washers,shock ends etc.

Love the steering angle on it.. Great job..

thanks guys.though i have done many mods,tests,drilling,cutting and other 'bad' stuff to this chassis i still performs really well.it doesnt have the bling and it isn't clean as i would like but until i get a new car it helps me improve my driving

No worries.. That's what the hobby is all about.. And no need for bling.. As long as its built with purpose and you make it your own.. I love it.. Has so much character...and it has potential.. Great job overall man!!
