Cool, looks like its prettymuch done! Can you adjust toe in?

*drool*

Now I just wish they would hurry up and give us the release date and price... :)

And yes, everything is adjustable from what I've read.

Woah, wait a sec, I just noticed that in this pic it looks like the car has an alloy drive shaft, where as the original pics showed a black graphite drive shaft!

Interesting...
And the pipe is a little diffrent too.

Like bishop said *drool*. I love that car. I just don't know if I want a first run Team or if I want to wait on a Factory Team. I think its good to see they are putting a alloy shaft on. The graphite one would be nice for racing but I don't think it will last very long bashing howeven the alloy one may twist (if its aluminium that is) but I doubt that will happen since not all of the load is put on it. Plus an alloy shaft means that there is one more thing to anno when they make FT parts. :D Judging from those pics I'd have to say that is probably the final version.

My new post hypnotic suggestion....

I will not buy the TC3 when it first comes out and the factory team as well.

Have you ever seen the UPS commircial where the kid asks Dale Jarret if he would drive the big brown truck? Then when he refuses, the kid holds his breath. Call up associated, recreate the scene, then pretend to pass out. This would be so funny. :rolleyes:

I have had an opifiney. When the tc3 nitro comes out i am going to get the suspenion and put it on my tc3. I now will have 200mm pivot ball suspension eletric tc3. Seem like a good idea. Thought so.

[Bishop]

I personaly don't think it's practical to put pivot ball suspension on an electric car, a lot of people have been asking about wether AE will put the setup on the electric TC3 on the AE web site, and this is what I said there...

For all the people asking about pivot balls being used on the electric, I don't think AE will ever do it, for one very good reason, it adds extra weight.

It's very important for electric cars to be very light, and the pivot ball setup is rather heavy, and adds to the unsprung weight of a car, which puts extra load on the suspension of the car.

Nitros already have extra weight, and generally because they crash so hard, the pivot balls are a good idea, generally I just don't think it's necessary to have them on a electric car.

Thats a pretty good point. I guess as long as the TC3 keeps winning they won't be changing anything.
