I am not that familiar with the eTC3, but I absolutely love my nTC3. I am also planning a nTC3 brushless conversion soon.

Correction:

I meant to ask if anyone knew the internal gearbox ratio of a TC3,
I mistakenly typed "final drive ratio"...
((I want to calculate the FDR.))

BTW:
I have also gotten a small rock stuck in my TC3 steering rack...

I corrected my question above...
Does anyone know the internal ratio of the TC3 transmission?

Just got my tc3 off of eBay. The guy took real good care of it. I was gonna try and make a drifter out of it for my daughter to play with. I have found though parts are a little harder to find than my other cars.

I don't see much mention of the TC3 here in the vintage on-road section, so hopefully I don't get evicted for not being a pan car. Not sure where else it should go though.

For a few months, I've been rebuilding and re-rebuilding a freebee that was...

Last post

This feels like something that should be done. I know there used to be a kit available. Just need some taller shock towers, longer shocks, wider suspension arms and longer/tougher CVDs or dogbones. Hmm....
.

yeah, the rally kit was awesome. I had...

Well, here we are another three years down the road since the last post. I just finished a total overhaul of my TC3 and nearly all of the parts I wanted to replace are discontinued by AE. eBay had some of them but some are simply NLA. So I would say...

Last post

i just rebuild my t3 diff and found out the diff rings where slipping on the outdrives so i ended up super glueing the drive rings to the outdrives and installing new rings and ball and eveything works perfect now

So I have been having a lot of fun with my ol' TC3 lately. So much so that I bought a second one for my son to run with me. My car currently has a Novak SS5800 brushless set up, and I'm running a new 6 cell 3300mAh Dynamite NiMh battery. I've got it...

Last post

I stumbled across a brand new set of 3908 outdrives (both front and rear) for a very reasonable price so snagged them! That should buy me some time in the wear department. I'll take a close look at how the CV axle pins are wearing when I rebuild the...

First post

ok so i just opened up TC3 diff rebuild kit and noticed the drive rings dont fit at all.

Is it suppose to be like that or was it suppose to be a direct fit?

part number was asc7677.

Last post

alright, so google failed me then.

in other news, aside from the drive rings, the 7677 works

I also had a spare set of drive rings so im still good.

First post

Will the Assoc. TC3 shock work on a RC10l? They look to be the same size (shaft and shock body), but was wondering if anyone here has done this or knows if it would work, before I spend money
Sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks for any help!

Last post

Thank you, all. I will use the TC3 shock.
