The Diggity Designs XLR8 carbon fibre and aluminum conversion kit for the Associated TC3 and TC4 is not just your typical conversion kit. This kit has been developed to improve the performance of the already proven Associated TC3 and TC4 shaft drive touring cars. The XLR8 works very well on both carpet and tarmac surfaces. This kit is basically a new car; you will need some parts from an existing Associated TC3 or TC4 along with a Losi or Kimbrough servo saver or you can just buy the parts separate and complete your XLR8 car! All of the aluminum components are made from 6061 or stronger material. All of the Carbon Fibre is CNC milled from the highest quality 3mm panels from Kinetic Composites. Includes stainless steel socket screw hardware, delrin and brass pieces.
Features:
* New chassis, top-plate, front and rear shock towers, and battery braces made of 3mm quasy layered carbon fibre.
* The drive line is 1/4 inch lower than a TC3 or TC4, for better handling, acceleration and a lower center of gravity.
* New battery set-up; 4-2 most optimized weight distribution. Batteries are placed as close to center as possible, the skinnier drive shaft makes for more room to move the batteries to the middle!
* New suspension geometry with new suspension arms that are shorter than stock ones with wider diff housings, makes for a better handling car.
* All New steering rack and steering geometry.
* Solid One piece aluminum drive shaft. skinnier and way lighter than a stock TC3 or TC4 drive shaft set-up. Allows for quick disassembly of the drive line, pop 11 short screws and the entire drive line (shaft, 3 bearing supports, top-plate, and spur gear) comes off in one piece for easy cleaning and removal.
* New aluminum pin blocks front and rear. They use replaceable brass cone bushings.
* New aluminum diff housings, front-mid-and rear shaft bearing supports for a more precise drive line.
* Custom Heat sink aluminum motor mount and a milled front bumper.
