I need to know how you go about setting up a TC3, as in what effect does moving the shock mounts in do or what will more camber help, THANX for any help!

Trax -
when you change the mounting holes of the shocks on the shock tower you are changing the geometry of the vehicle. I would leave the shocks in place until you get it dialed in, and become familiar with the way each adjustment affects the vehicles handling, and how they affect your other adjustments. I have not moved the shocks on mine yet, but I think that the further down and to the inside you move it the stiffer you make the backend. Anyone can clarify for me? I'm very curious on this as well, but I believe that I'm correct. I found a great setup for the car by looking through this one site about touring cars. I can't remember the address at the moment while I'm at work, but it has a forum for TC3's and a lot of help was offered there. IMO though I wouldn't move the shocks around on the tower until you have gotten all the other adjustments right and can't get quite what you are looking for. I'm assuming moving them is a last resort like adjusting a diff. someone correct me guys.

okay, for all interested the host site, which I suggest you all check out is
www.rctouring.com (http://www.rctouring.com)

you can follow off of that to the forums and select whatever you want. the TC3 forum I found helpful though is this one.
http://www.rctouring.com/rcubb/Forum1/HTML/000604.html

you will have to search through the history to find it, but second to this board its the most information I have found online for the car.

later all
