Ultimate TC3

[newtonuk]

So, if money was no obstacle, what would make the ultimate TC3.

From shocks to diffs, chassis, CVDs, suspension arms, bearings, hinge pins, screw sets and/or any other aftermarket or Team AE component, what would you choose?

I'm starting with a relatively clean slate, the only component so far is a graphite component set and a AE Team Blue alloy drive shaft. Other components will be 'borrowed' from a racer kit, with 'upgrading' in mind. :P

IRS / Warpspeed chassis conversion.
RPM Bumpers
Built in fan to cool endbell
Replace black plastic parts with blue bits, hell, make everything blue!

OO and a pack of DC cells, the perfect winning combination ;)

Looks cool, how does it go compared to stock?

very good indeed ;D
Set FTD at Hereford last friday. Made the rear links longer and that made the handling pefect for me.
The short wheelbase made it a little hairy out of some of the slower corner sometimes. But hopefully that is sorted now.
ohhh....... and a AKA lightweight pinion. unfortunatly it died last week :-[ but then again i was indurance testing it to see how long it would last ::)

I notice you're running the NTC3 steering, Have you compared starndard vs NTC3, what's the difference?

[Phil C]

Aparently it sorts the akerman out. Ive also just got a bmi an am trying out the ntc3 rack. Ill tell u how it goes.

[whoopass_racer]

Plus, no blumin carpet dust to get stuck to the standard rack - coz its annoying having to get a stanly knife to clean it!!!!!! ::)

[B3buggy]

Hi guys,
mainly for ease of maintenance. It does change the akerman, dont know by how much though.
made my tub chassis have a smoother turn in.

I've got the IRS conversion on a FT car, RPM/Trinity bumper, composite diff halfs to keep it light and the gear cases are fully worked to make them as smooth as possible. I've also ditched the blue prop shaft for the spun carbon one.

[Phil C]

Not a bad chassis but nothing compares with this beast.

The rest of the car can be finished by AE factory parts.

I wonder how much it would be underweight?
