Before you get another car you should probably get a ball diff and tune this chassis so that it works. Your money would be much better spent on getting a tire truer and springs, t-plates, greases, tools, etc. These things are much more important than having the latest and greates upgrades. Just throwing on expensive parts will never make the car handle well. It looks like from that picture that you are using a trishock, without grease, and with the dds plates. Honestly running a pn 5 fiberglass or balck fiberglass with some 10k silicon oil and only the bottom dds plate gives the most consistent handling for a t-plate car. If you don't put a screw to adjust t-plate tension then keeping the center shock with a softer spring would also be good.

If you have some good data is love to hear your thoughts on the Atokic LSD you've been running.
I have this diff on my Lotus Exige. It does what it advertises... This LSD + Rear pod + right tires = full throttle turn exits + tight entries.

I will now change the 70T motors for a faster one and check the differences.

Thank you for the advise. Running 1/10 for almost 20 years - most of them being a TC racer I appreciate the set-up needs of these cars. I have the bases covered for support equipment. I'll try the suggestion on the DDS plate. Car worked well on its first night but always looking to improve. Club I'm at has some really fast racers. Appreciate the help - been reading a lot on here and the other forums.

hey Herman, cheers. The rims are Route 246 CE28N +2 front,+3 rear both chassis are using the Atomic SCS top shock and both are using Xpower motor mounts, on the 98mm I'm racing the 458 mostly but sometimes switch to the Mclaren C12.

here it is with the Mclaren body on it...

For the upside-down kingpin mod, what kingpins are you guys using?

I have had success flipping the stock kingpin shaft and shimming to create a free and smooth system. Had to find a ball end that fit the lower control arms and was long enough to provide support to the kingpin through the whole suspension stroke. Much smoother then the stock setup.

R246 LM rear motor pod and matching damper/oil shock assembly. Really liking the R246 mount as it's designed to hold stock screwless motors.
