Team C TC04 Build thread

[nicefrog]

Ok here we go!, I must thank Dennis from rcmart/dinball for going out his is way to get a car for me that he doesn't normally stock and tcmodels for setting some kind of EMS postage record getting the tyres and swaybars here in 3 days.



The Box very pretty



Inside the box, even better



Part bags



The chassis and the first part of the build



The only real problem so far was this alloy motor mount, one of the holes wasn't tapped all the way into the hole, which resulted in this. A second hole was also short but I managed to still seat the screw with some effort. Tomorrow I'll shorten a screw and then that will get a screw in the dodgy hole



So for now it's only held in with two screws, I don't have a 3mm tap so I might just buy the option mount.



Moving right along and forgetting the thread issue for now, the diffs were assembled, Sorry we missed a picture of them half going together but they are pretty standard a little tight spot on one of them but not too bad and it should smoothen out. Please note the front diff in this shot is back to front don't do this since I had to open the case and flip it around later .



Here's the rear diff, I could have used just two shims here, but 3 made it snug so I used 3, So I only used 1 in the front diff (only had one left) It seems ok with just one but perhaps could have fitted 2 in there. The rear definitely needed at least two (the instructions suggest one but you get 4 in the kit).



One of the diffs complete



The completed slipper, very nice bit of hardware, the spur had a bit of a wobble in it like usual so I've tightened the slipper right up to see it it ill get convinced to be a straighter in the morning



Since the slipper is so lovely you can see it twice



Here we have the slipper installed, still looking lovely



And one overhead shot
