Team Associated Factory Team TC4 Setup Tips by Lufaso There are many variables involved in setting up a Team Associated Factory TC4 radio controlled racing car. It is not possible to give a setup that will work with all tracks and driving styles. I give a starting point for the various parameters involved in setting up the Factory Team TC4 based on the setups I have tested. Thoroughly read the manual given with the Factory Team TC4.
Also has information, updates, and tips. The Team Associated is useful. Read to begin to understand what each change will make. HPI also has a worth reading. Construction and Assembly Chassis/Components: Start with the Team Associated Factory Team TC4 Kit (#30102).
During assembly, check each part and remove the flashing if necessary. The chassis preparation starts with sanding the outside edge of the chassis and also the battery slots. If you do not sand the battery slots, it is very likely that the battery tape will be cut. Team CRC has a nice description on how to Front/Rear Suspension: The front and suspension should be free and smooth. Without the shock installed, the arms sould raise and fall freely under their own weight.
Check the inside and outside hinge pins to ensure they are straight. Bumper: The dense front bumper can be lightened by taking some material from the underside with a Dremel tool. CVD's: I break in the CVD's, bearings, and differentials by using an old motor hooked up to a battery pack or motor run-in feature on the LRP charger. Ps2 To Ps2classic Tools Rar. This will free up the drivetrain before you get to the track. Shock Assembly: Follow directions included in kit. Apply Green Slime to build a smooth set of shocks, and lightly coat the shock shaft/o-ring seals. Fill the shock bodies with desired weight oil and bleed the shocks.
The most important tip is to ensure the rebound is equal on both shocks. I typically assemble shocks with very little rebound, but the most important part is that each is equal. Wrap a piece of paper around the shock shaft, the use little pressure to hold the shock shaft, minimizing the chance to scratch with pliers. Measure the distance from the shock body to the ball cup and adjust until both are even. Read more about shock oil weights. By following the instructions and a little practice, the stock shocks work just fine. I have never had one leak that was properly assembled.
Weight: The car is under the ROAR minimum weight. Add motor cooling fans (AE #31036) and heatsinks (narrow, wide, or wrap around, or use extra lead weights (AE #1595) to balance the car. Handling Setting the Tweak: I don't claim to know the best way to set the tweak on the car. I'll describe how I set the tweak using a Niftech tweak board, but similar tweak boards will work as well. Feel free to send me a suggestion on a better method.
First make sure the tires (if using foam) sizes are close to even. Check to make sure the shock springs are the same length (these do vary!). Guitar Pro 5 Free Download Mac.
Make sure the shock body to beginning of ball cup is the same length. Set the ride height to 5-5.
5 mm at each corner. Make sure the camber is set properly (~-1 to -2) for the tires to wear evenly, no coning in either side of the tire. Remove the wheels and set the droop (equal right to left) to whatever is appropriate for the roll center setup, tire size, etc.. Reinstall the wheels and have all equipment installed like the car will be raced. Ensure tweak board is level in all directions.
Place the rear tires on the solid portion of the tweak board, with the front chassis flat on the part of the tweak board that rotates, or on top of a level spacer. Adjust the shock setting to obtain an even tweak for the rear. Now place the front tires on the solid portion of the tweak board, and rear part of the chassis on the part that rotates, then adjust the tweak for the front. After the front and rear are adjusted separately, place all four wheels on the tweakboard. The tweak should be very near level. Perform any slight adjustment if it is necessary, but don't make all the adjustment in a single shock, spread it out evenly over the 4 shocks. Be sure to press evenly on the center of the suspension after each step and adjustment to make sure there is no bias and to settle the suspension.
