Problem Child

hi how did you go with the four engine s are you still running it ? or have you started a new project ?

Hey how are you? Do you know alot about shock set ups? I'm soooooooo confused. I was talking to Mah and asking some questions on his setup, and he'd like I really don't know what the Toe-in or out is for the front or rear? The shock hole location is the same as when I bought it but you can see some things on my video 's. How about ride height and he's like 10mm with chassis. Basically it's like I have to try and mess with every part of my car to get it to go straight and Mah's like I haven't touched those things. It's been like that since I got it new he says. Oh my god that's frustrating!lol I ve changed the servo,tires, and all kinds of tweeking/adjustments,etc. And he's like yea I just put a differnt body on it and now it's easy to get it that fast. Lol oh he's killing me. Do you have any idea of why my car is such a handful and his isn't?

Problemchild,
First let me start by saying thank you. And no, I don't have another children. I'm 31yrs. old, so I guess I have little more time for another one. Oh do you know Hermes? I'm gonna need help trying to get mod.1 to work on my Tc5, especially the spur gear and motor mount for my MMM 2650kv. god this car is going to FLY. But I'm going to need help, I know this for sure. Hey do you know anyone on here that own's or has had a Tc5 that could answer me some questions? Like what is better to use the inner hole on shock tower or the outer? And why? Or what size wheels, what kind? What shocks, are stock ok?

I lost myson when he was 11. We started a speed project with a rustler. That's something that I think about often. In fact everytime I drive one if my cars it brings back some memories. My son was my whole life. It's been really hard dealing with him not being here but being involved in isc/speed runs helps out emensly. That's why I feel bad asking so many questions, I feel like I'm bothersome or a pest. Thanks for (showing me the ropes) on here it's made things alittle easier. Where are you located? Cali also?

Thanks for helping me this far. And thank you for the video's and insight. You know those video's of your cars, I've seen them many times. It's pretty cool that I can assosiate the video's to the person. We'll yes things have been hard, but I enjoy this more than anyone person knows. This hobby besides being a HUGE adrenaline rush, takes my mind off of my everyday problems and concerns. Besides my son and I use to do this together before he passed away. And it just means that much more to me. I'm very determined to make my car exceed the 100mph, and I won't stop till I do. Thanks again for everything.

Thank you very much. Your idea worked. But something tells me you knew it was going to. My Tc3 had the same problem so I did what you said and it works now. Thanks again. I hate being new, but then again I'm learning alot. And if it wasn't for the help that I received I wouldn't be driving my cars. So thanks again Don

Gary,
I have a question for you. You said that I need just alittle bit of toe-in, but I've tried so many times to use the least amount as possible, but it seems thar I need quit abit of Tie-out and then it goes pretty straight. I basically didn't know how to make it so I could make it toe-in or at 0degrees? And the info about the wheels and springs/suspension was very helpful. Thanks alot. Oh yea, one more thing does it really help to use as much caster in the front as possible? I mean would I be able to tell a differnce? I have like 0 or 1 degree of caster now, and I can put as much as 6 degrees of caster on the front but I didn't want to do it if it
wasn't going to make a differnce? Like I said before thank you so much for all your help, it's deffinatly making a differnce in my car and my driving. So thanks Don
