TC3 setup help

[studysession]

I own a Team Factory TC3 with lots of hop-ups. I am new to electric. I love the car itself but I have a lot of trouble being able to handle the car easily.

Most of my experience is racing 1/8 scale ralley crose.

I have a Lehner brushless motor and a Schulze ESC. I am using a 26t pinion and a 72t spur. The car is extremely fast.

The acceleration is uncontrolable. The car spins the tires on take off and fish tales the back end if you can keep it going straight. If not it just does donuts. On the corners the car mostly spins out and does donuts at most speeds when I turn the wheel.

I have a nitro TC3 that does not do the spinning unless I make it spin around.

Thanks, in advance.

What surface are you running the car on and what tyres are you using?

[studysession]

My street with foams. Sometimes it is dry, sometimes moist outside. But even when it is dry, same results. I also was doing same thing at car park at work.

May i ask u y you are runing foams? this could be your problem. If they are soaking up moisture they are bound not to grip.

I got better traction with foams when i ran my nitro TC3.

That I am also waiting for my tire glue to arrive. I mail order most everything. Once it arrives I do have a set of new rubber tires and white dish rims to put on. Really think this can be my problem?

[Dave Treacy]

tyres could be the problem, also, are your diffs set OK? I tend to have my rear less tight (not loose) than the front.

[studysession]

I dont fully understand the diff question and what you mean? They seem fine. Not sure what to check?

[yokoracer]

what he means is is your rear diff too tight i run a tc3 the best dif set up i use is front lock diff and rear slightly loose

How do you loosen the diff?

[Dave Treacy]

Instructions are in the manual, but you remove the right rear driveshaft and there is a bolt you loosen slightly to adjust.

[Phil C]

By the way the diff tightness isnt meant to be a setup change. It states this clearly in the manual.

And 70 mph is the speed limit on motorways...it says so in the highway code book......... I have been adjusting the diffs front and rear for years to get a good balance with the car, its another thing you can play with to get the handling just how you like it.
