tc02c anti roll bars... which rear arms?

[Monkeysmate]

Quick one... can anti roll bars only be run on the gull-wing rear arms?

Yes, in their standard form.

Thanks Clive. Does that suggest that there is a mod that's out there?

Only in my head but it has been in there so long it may be getting a bit addled.

It may be time for it to resurface, now that I have most of the rest of the requirements in place. Namely the chassis stiffness and low C of G.

The thing is that most people who use Team-C cars only use the TC02C as their wet weather/slippery surface choice. Under these conditions most people would just remove the ARB anyway, so there is no need for it.

But I am focused on making this car a high-grip contender and to that end I have included the ARB mounting on the rear of the Dino gearbox. I have also tried to maintain an affordable upgrade path from the Mad Monkey/Lupuz buggies. OK, my Dino gearbox is a hefty £60 but the Team-C aluminium rear shock tower mount is £50 and you don't need it with the Dino.

My upgrade path still includes the flat rear arms, it's the cheaper route, and many people still prefer them. I know that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if I fitted the gull-wing type so why bother? (They also require different hubs.)

So yes, I have in mind to make the rear ARB an option with the flat arms but that's for others to use rather than me! And I'm up to my neck in other stuff at the minute so I wouldn't hold my breath.

BTW the Avid slipper is fantastic!!!

Mmm. Well for now I have one buggy for all conditions so I need to make do. I think I've come up with a fairly neat plan to fit the sway bars to the flat arms, so I'll see how it turns out...
What did you have to do to the and slipper then to get it to fit?

I fitted an outrigger bearing so that I could use the Avid Kyosho shaft.
