I have had my TC3 team for about 4 years now and apart from running droop screws in the front (they changed the wishbones about 2 years ago) it's pretty much as it was when new.

I see comments about lightweigh plasic diffs etc etc, so my question is, what's in the box now? If I went out and bought a new TC3, what would be different?

they come with a blue centre shaft and the "new" design wishbones with the optional mounting holes and plastic outdrives.

i got mine about 8months ago or so, came with the blue center drive shaft, version 2 wishbones, droop screws, plastic diffs, and the screws are countersunk deeper into the underneath of the chassis. (i have an old team version also)

The Ali Prop shaft is poo.

Bends too easy, cost me a good A final finish at the first HPi round

howed u manage that? i bent 1 but it was the worse crash ever. I was driving hapily down the straight an some1 managed to cross the track and hit me head on also at full speed. Input shafts also bent so it was a very hard crash. I bought a new 1 an its been fine ever since.

The chassis is also a bit different allowing for the droop screws to work.
