what type of hop ups and motors are you guys using?
also if anyone has any questions about these cars, this is the place.
i am running a TC3 with a checkpiont money 19T motor, all blue titanium shafts,turn buckles and mounts.
standard body and Shumacher mini pins for racing and yokomo drift tyres for drifting

Nice! What pinion size are you running? I have a tc4 & am using a Trinity co27 stock for my stock class & Speed Gems pro Kobal 13t modified. My esc is a vg 7.1. For bashing I run a 27 pinion, the car goes insanely fast!!I am burning through tires ( I don't mind the expense). I bought a rtr and went through and lock tightened all the pins for cvd and differentials. I cut all wires to make as short as possible. I also straight solder to the motor from the esc.I use a jr xr2i radio. I am saving for a futaba 3 pk. [

i left the stock pinnions in it for the moment. im hoping to get a TC4 soon, maybee santa might be good to me this year. lol

psychorevo

I am going to purchase a TC4 with an IMMEDIATE mamba drop in.

Do you guys recommend the 7000kv or the 5000kv motor?

irishdrifter

it depends on what you want to use it for? if its for fun or racing.

irishdrifter

having problems with my TC3, every time i go out either to a track or on the street i get small pebbles
caught in the steering rail. almost always results in a high speed head on into a wall or cirb.
do any of u guys have any solutions for this??

heres my team kit.
i'm running an hv maxx 6.5 on 14 ib 4200's
hpi vintage rims an rubbers
all metal shafts and steel spools
hpi 68 camaro body
super high gearing.


it's got to be one of the fastest "stock" tc4's in the world i'm thinking
she'll get low 70's on the radar

skidooguymxz550

if your running nihm 6-7 cells go with the 7700

lipo go with the 5700

irishdrifter

My Feedback: (1)

when i had mine, i cut a piece of lexan that was the same shape and mounted over the top. its been a long time since i had the car or i would gvie you better details

skidoogy: so exactly why do you use the word 'stock'

homeroFREAKINBRASILIAN

what pinion and spur gear would you use with a tc4 and a 13t mod reedy ti world?

Dokioto

I like my TC4. It's fun to drive... I need to get a better motor for it though.

72T spur/24T pinion

irishdrifter

ive got a 21 pinion with a 72 spur,
and a reedy modified 12T motor.
i was running a modified 27T trinity moster and i think il stick it back in cause in my tc3 therse very little difference
but i have a FT RC10 B4 and the reedy motor is waaay faster in it.

stu92

i have tc4 ft co27 and 72 spur and pinion 26 and running 3900 gp packs. futuba 3pk spectrum .

irishdrifter

I'm running my tc4 with an Epic intense 16t. It hauls a decent amount now. I'm burning up those tires quick...Gotta love the TC4

Ikerus

I got a tc4 that runs a stock trinity cobalt motor and a novak gtx esc. i never ran the stock tires and put on foam ones since i race a the local track on saturdays. i got purp/oragne fronts and purp rear for tires with a caddie crx body on it. it hauls if i get it stright.

Hey guys, I've got gearing questions:

What pinion should I run using a Trinity Komodo 19t spec pro for general bashing/ racing use?
what pinion would be good running a Trinity Speed Gems Pro 17 double @20* timing?
I've got 72t spur.
other motor I have is a fantom stock running 72/21 on a tight track... works well

mytc3fasterthanurs

i have a tc3 with a novak super sport brushless system. Deans plugs in progress. New Kimbrough spur and pinoin. Steel diff assembley. Extended front bumper. 4200 batteries.

I just scored a mostly stock TC4 roller chassis off ebay. It looks kinda like it sat around for some time before being put up for sale, there is some rust spots on the hex screws here and there, and from the pics a couple of broken/missing parts, like the cracked front bumper plastic, and a missing body post. It comes with some kind of servo, but I have another spare if it's troublesome.

I plan on slapping in my Novak 6.5 or 3.5R on 6-cells in it, or my MMax 5700 on 6-cells or 3S lipo. The TC4 I got was upgraded with ball diffs by the previous owner.

I'm just gonna use this as a basher and speed runs. Are there any other upgrades to the tranny that are bare essentials for brushless power, besides replacing the stock plastic axles with metal ones, or is it pretty sturdy in stock form?

For the body, I am thinking of either a Lambo Gallardo for street use or maybe even a classic/modern-retro Muscle car, and later on maybe a rally type body and rally upgrade kit. Gonna try to keep it looking good, maybe some working LED lights and such.

Since the auction ended I guess it's ok to link to it? [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190155094225&ssPa geName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=009]TC4 w/ ball differentials roller chassis[/link]

And what is "torque-steer" exactly? I hear it mentioned often as a problem with shaft-drive cars using high power.
