Speed Hop-Ups for the TC3

[TeamSinDriver]

I have a TC3 racer kit. I was wondering on hop-ups that would give me more speed.

The graphite outdrives for your diffs instead of the steel ones that came with the kit will add speed, particularly off the line and coming out of turns

A Novak Cyclone and a LOW turn motor. ;)

myst, the outdrives are plastic on the racer kit, or do you mean the part where the wheel attaches to the drive shaft.

For speed, I would go with a low turn motor and a good speedo along with good batts. This will give you the most speed. You can also mod the bearings by removing one side of the seals and spraying them out with buggy blast and then puting bearing oil in them and puting the bearing back together. Graphite parts and anything that shaves off a few ounces will make you go a little faster and also anything to get the rotational mass down, ie:lighter rotating parts = more speed becase of less resistance.

No, I mean the out drives. On my Team they are steel and I need to change them over.
