OK here it go does anyone know of a company thats sell metal ring and pinion diff gears for the Nitro TC3 i keep shredding them with my O.S. TZ

jandb917

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

Ok thanks for the help and thats the same setup i run with a one way and a spool in the back

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.

jandb917

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

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.

newbiee question, I have a stock .12 engine and Im just wondering what cause it to spin out when i jump on the throttle. I tried accelelarating easily but it wont let me do a full throttle without spinning.

thanks

jandb917

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

mavric65

check your axles also if one is missing the pin in the cvd it will cause this problem also i had this problem once

zoomzoomzoom

I'll check the toe in/out. BTW, Im running slick tires.. and ran it in an asphalt parking lot.

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!!!

i got mine a week ago i cant beleive how fast this thing goes i reakon it hit 90kmh in first gear alone well naturally i didnt even get to tune it to go into second gear cos i crashed it that was the end of the day i broke the front shock tower the top half of the front diff caseing and craked the front rims this car is really fragile but so fast. i believe this has got to do with all the power being directed straight to a drive shaft rather than belt driven which is the reason why i bought this car one look at it i just had to buy it

HondaTC3+

Anybody have any experience with the TC3+ with the OS .18? Im picking one up pretty soon to put in mine.

SERRASOMETHING

honestly, I have had many cars and have a nice and fast fusion .21. The os .18 can be beat with a smaller motor, and the car is amazing.

Try a RB Concept V.12 rudy turbo, dude, I tuned it today and I am curious to race the fusion on traction, I have never had such power boasted from an .12, and the TC3, its the car to have it on!

i need some help I'm setting up my ntc3 for some parking lot drag racing and don't know how to set my car do i need to go + camber or - camber and etc etc etc i will appreciated if y'all give me a hand on this. every time i post something on the onroad forum no one shows up to help me !

Woah, I haven't logged in for a while... Savage.27: If you want to keep straight, go toe in. On the circuit, if find it may oversteer a little but nothing that would kill you (...or so i have heard, I am yet to see this for myself). My personal setup on both my K-Factory NTC3 and my complete carbon NTC3 (the RTR I upgraded from the bottom up) is 2 degrees on the front and one degree on the front. I use no camber on the front and negative camber of two degrees on the back. Before messing with these settings, is the car not moving straight right now? Does it pull off of the line or later down after the second kicks in? How hard does it pull? Is it to the left or the right? I'll check back for your response.

bennyblanco

the car is still underconstruction im just trying to set it up the best way possible for what im trying to do.........drag racing! thanks!!
