Default T4 just built

Just finished building a team c T4 supplied by PBM racing. What a joy to build, with no issues whatsoever :-)

The quality of the parts and how they fit is easily up there with Schumacher and Durango (I've built both) and a special mention for the big bore shocks which are stunning.

I ran the car for the first time last night and was very impressed. It’s so easy to drive with very little change to the normal setup. I was faster first time out with the T4 than with my Cougar which I’ve been driving for 6 months…

Big thanks to John for the help..

Looked very good, maybe just need to have a mess around with the Ackerman angle to get a bit more low speed steering

Yep, the Ackerman needs a tweak, I increased the travel on the radio last night and the car cornered loads better. Howver, I managed to stip a spur gear, Doh..... The gear box doesn't like high grip carpet and 100% brakes . Tip - turn down the % brake on your radio, mine at 65%.

My only query is the kit springs seam a bit soft, does anyone know if you can get a 'med or hard' spring set, like on the T02?

Personally I use losi springs on mine. I found the difference between the hard spring and the soft Team c springs to be pretty minimal.

Losi big bore springs come in good range of springs, fit straight on the shocks and spring caps and are pretty cheap.

Black or blue on the front, Pink on the back seems to work well everywhere for me.

Weight is something I haven't really played with but possibly should do. I did out an undersaddle lipe for an Tc02c under and it definatley helps the car. Time to order some rudebits ones for experimentation methinks.

Losi springs for the BB's are what gives you the most versatile tuning options. rumors however tell that there will be a complete spring set from TeamC also out at some point.
