TC3 body scrapes

[galliao]

I just got a RTR TC3 and god is the body annoying. It scapes on just about anything... tiny seperations on the driveway, carpet, etc. Is there anything I can do to fix this? It's already set as far up the body mounts as it goes. I suppose I'll have to trim the body itsself?

Thanks!

either try to trim the body or use the preload spacers to increase the ride height in the shocks. i have a thick spacer in each shock. i didn't get to run mine yet. :(

hey galliao where did u get ur RTR TC3 m friend is thinking about getting one. thanks.

if ur body is scraping just raise it a notch on the body mounts. if that is to high, then just take a dremel all around the bottom edges and that oughtta raise it enough.

Thanks for the advice BrahmaBullSQ and TC3Racer! I have now set the body to the highest possible point on the mounts and raised it as high as possible with the spacers. Hopefully that will take care of most of the scraping (initial tests around the house were good), if not I guess I'll be doing some body trimming :).

I got the TC3 RTR from Tower (they just finally got them in stock last Friday). It has an LRP Runner Plus ESC, Hitec Lynx Sport radio, and a Team Associated power 19 motor. Btw is it normal for the ESC (I assume it's the ESC) to emit a continuous high frequency "beep" whenever it's taken out of neutral?

Thanks Everyone!

Another thought just came to mind...

I could probably also replace the 24mm wheels it comes with (I think they're 24mm?) with 26mm to gain some more ride height?

Anyone know the pros and cons of switching to 26mm from 24mm?

Thanks Again

Sorry but the difference between 24mm and 26mm rims is width not height.

And its so nice to see you guys in the USA use metric :D

lol thanks for the tire info (new to this hobby).

ya thats normal for it to make a beeping sound. i got a T3 RTR and it makes that beeping too. just be careful with the ESC. the bottom casing tends to come apart from the entire top section and it clips back on. just a reminder.
