Status: offline 		there is a guy i run with all the time that was having the same promblem we came up with either two conclusions as to why he was shreeding the diff gears

first : he was using a one way in the front and a locked in the rear and we run on a pretty sticky track surface (lots of traction that is ) so we thought that sue to the locked diff and the traction he was shreeding them

second: since he was using them diffs we thought maybe his diff cases maybe either loose ( the two halfs loose that is ) or that the input was not shimmed like it should be casueing too much backlash in the gears

i dont know which one it turned out to be due to we didnt have the parts to fix it there and he deployed this week to go do some training but as soon as i find out what it was ill let ya know

Status: offline 		i have a tc3 plus and it will do around 47 mph properly tuned on a long straight run. if your looking for real speed in a rtr either a traxxas 4-tec 3.3(bad handling though) or a cen ct5. there are others but these two i know are 70 mph cars. i've seen the 4-tec 3.3 run and it will walk off and leave my tc3 plus in the dust.

Status: offline 		i agree the 3.3 maybe fast but like you said it handles like a brick on wheels LOL i will agree it is fast but if you run a track there is NO and i mean NO way you will be able to take advantage of the top speed so in my eyes a NTC3 (maybe a cen ...... ive never seen one run ) is a better car casue to me the handleing is more important and how well it handles and and its ability to hold a line and accelerate ...but thats just my .02

Status: offline 		i believe the ntc3 is the factory team kit. all you get is the rolling chassis. the tc3 plus is cheaper rtr version of the team kit.

Status: offline 		its proablly how you have your suspension set up you might be either usng too much or not enough toe in /out that whould casue it... also what kind of tires are you using ???? this plays into it also depending on the surface you are running on

Status: offline 		OK guys, its been a while since my last post and a lot have changed. If most of you remember I get my first NTC3 a few months back and I loved it and I gt the LRP and I wanted another NTC3 to put my AE.15 in. Well I got the other car in a bad state, fixed it up and sold it without the engine and I fullly carbon upgraded my first NTC3+. Recently, I bought a fully K-Factory upgraded NTC3 with a Nova S.12. They say aluminum is way heavy but its just about the same weight as the stock TC3+ so its either that rumour was fake or K-Factory did somethign right. The best part is that i got the K-factory car, the Nova S.12 and a RD Logics tunes pipe system for only US$300 and it came with a bag with spares for everything. Quite of a steal of a deal huh? I also have been through two more Motorsport Elise bodies which I sprayed myself using automotive paints. I'm at work right now so when I get home, I'll let the pictures do the talking. TEAM ASSOCIATED ALL THE WAY!!!
