Just bought a TC3 and have a few questions...

[yankees2000]

1) When i put the motor hold down screw in, it passed the chasis by about a 1/2 inch and is sticking out on the bottom of the car,do i cut it or leave it?
2) How hard the shock springs in weight, the gold ones and the silver ones.
3) I don't have a 28 pinion yet and put a 23 in how much of a difference in speed will it make once i put the 28t in?

1) I think you have the motor hold down screws backwards. Try switching them (like the longer one w/ the spring or vice versa).
3) The 28tooth pinion will make a HUGE difference! I’d recommend getting a 27t, 28t, and 29t gears so you can cover any track conditions. Right now you’re not getting much top speed, but tons of torque.

thanx...but i have yet another question. I put different wheels on and i couldnt use the blue wheel nuts and now when i try to take my wheels off all four of them spin! What could i be doing wrong?

[Nairb]

Hold the wheel steady when you remove its nut. You're just turning the axle, and the drivetrain connected to it, by not keeping it from moving with the nut.

[yankees2000]

i hold all the wheels and it still don't come off!

[Nairb]

Is the nut still there or not?

I know what it is. You didn't install a hex thingie in your new wheels, right? They're probably still in the original wheels, right? You'll have to grab the CVDs with pliers and hold it still while you take the nut off. Dude, you HAVE to have those little hex thingies on the axles, engaged on the roll pin, so the wheels will work right.

yo, yank...does the TC3 accept stick packs? I hate saddle packs(requires mucho mula) so i use sticks.

The TC3 accepts stick packs, saddle packs, and regular side-by-side packs (what I think you mean).

[yankees2000]

it accepts stick packs, u gotta raise the battery hold down screws. Yes my wheels nuts are their and yes their is an adapter on it...i think i found out what the problem is. I lost one of those little pins inside the adapter and i think that might be causing it.

[Nairb]

Yep, that is causing it. Just grab that dogbone with pliers and take the nut off. All the ones that still have the roll pin in the axle should come off fine.
