I was just wondering if there was an interest in a TC3 Oval Graphite Chassis Conversion? I have enclosed a pic so let me know what you guys think.

My pics are too big but if you are interested send me an e-mail and I will send some pics.



Tony

tony Can u get me a top brace for my stock tc3. I heard that BMI made them, and two shock towers...

Thanks

Shock towers are made by GPM and BMI does not have a replacement upper deck for the stock TC3 chassis. They make a whole conversion kit with an upperdeck, but no replacement upperdeck.

Tony

Tell brooks i said good run last night... & he could run faster if he would learn how to drive....

Man I wish i would have had one of your spurs on last night to have given PRS another win, but i did run your pinion....Great product...

hey zoom what ae you doing running a tc3 TRADER :mad: :D

Thanks zoom but I didn't think that I drove to bad seeing we had a 10 car main and I still went 45 laps.
Number0 If you seen Zoom run the TC3 you wouldn't car him a trader. LOL

Brooks

#0...I just wanted to see how the other side lived

Tony,
I was thinking along the same lines as you on a oval touring car. In my opinion I would make it so that a 190mm body will still fit on it. Alot of tracks run oval with touring cars.They follow the roar rules being that it can only be 190mm wide. If you built it narrower I think alot of carpet races would pick it up.I am thinking of build a belt drive one similiar to yours.Keep up the good work.

Brooks,
What day are you and Tony coming up to Classic?
I will probably be there from Thursday at 5:00 on through.,

We will be in late Thursday. We are not leaving here till around 6:30 or so! So it will be late that night

Brooks

TONY::::Correct me if Iam wrong. The pix that you send me does not have a shaft. Did you remove it toshow how the chssis looks or is this conversion to 2wd?? Iam attaching a link to the pix you send me. Thanx

Yes the shaft is just not in the car yet!

Brooks

now i know what i want to do to my third tc3,, dang i was fixin to sell it.. LOOKS KILLER

BIGDON

What kind of price are you guys talking for the oval set up?

That looks great i know of several guys on the west coast that will love that considering they are running dirt oval with the TC3's.

now i know what i want to do to my third tc3,, dang i was fixin to sell it.. LOOKS KILLER

BIGDON

Third? Don come back you're drifting to the other side. :devil:

I got a chance to get a real close look at this car this past weekend and all i can say is it is absolutely awesome. Makes me want to build up one. Good luck with it Tony.

hey zoom return from the dark side fast

I have a better idea. Stay on the dark side and give the rest of us jabronies a chance in 19t. HeHe, Just kidding dude. Maybe see ya around some time. Got work orders in and will be workin saturdays till about middle of May.

Later

should be a fun car to drive

OK that's awesome! Now we can get some of these poor misguided TC3RTR guys into the fold.lol When will they be available? I want one, so I can buy a TC3 to wrap around. Very nice car!

You guys at PRS need to get this up on Dave's conference if you have not already. He will post it for you if you ask him. It's not a RTR but should be posted there because this is as close to a RTR as we oval racers are going to get!

Looks like the direction that pan cars should go just without the front diff. :eek:

how thick is the chassis?

how much flex does it have?

JBM, you said a mouth full. I have been hoping that Assosiated would at least come out with a new front end where the top and bottom A arm both move and a micro shock could be installed on both sides.

Iam looking more & more on that chassis....my question is ...is the wheelbase legal? looks like the battery location is farther out of the front & rear wheels. Is that consider 190 or 200 mm ?

This looks KILLER. Needs to be set up for taping the batteries in and I would have the side of the chassis even with 190mm a-arms, just in case.

Dave..........
The Chassis and upper deck (not pictured) is 3mm satin finish woven graphite. With out the upper deck the chassis has a tick of flex from front to rear. After the upper deck is installed the chassis should not flex at all.

Jeepnyy........
The chassis will fit under a McAllister 04' Taurus. From the left side of the chassis to the outside of the RR tire measures 8". The car has 190mm arms on the left and 200mm arms on the right. We cut the chassis to accept the 200mm wheelbase. That is why it is deceiving in the pics. We may make a the chassis to be a complet conversion for the 190mm car. This way anyone can convert it and still be 190mm legal.

Wagonman........
We will have the final version where you can use the stock TC3 battery strap or have the chassis slotted for the guys who want to use tape.

With the slots being wider we drilled the chassis to accept the IRS battery locator plates. This will keep the battery from moving from side to side.

Tony/PRS

Here are some pics.

Tornado you are tell all the good stuff about the car LOL

But I have not told the chassis set up........................

Tony/PRS

I took a look at this car when no one was around Brooks' pit area Sat :eek: and it was definetly cool. I would buy one and race oval with my TC3. A class of TC3's would be SLICK at Sandhills!

I hope next year we can get a group of guys to run! I think it is to late this year to try to start Oval Touring!

Brooks

tony,
i got a feeling the touring oval class will be larger at the next snowbirds. looks great ,, i know it makes me want one.

BIGDON

Looks to me like a way to get a shock frontend, rear suspension and 4wheel drive allowed in oval? :rolleyes: This should really confuse the heck out of any new racer. Whats the price tag going to be on this little beauty?

the kit looks really nice.... what kind of motor mount is going to be used???? will this be a direct tc3 conversion or wil it be for the irs chassis...

Thanks for all of the great comments guys,

We will offer the kit in a 190mm version so the standard TC3 will fit directly over and you can run a 190mm body if needed. The car pictured is actually a 200mm conversion.

I will post more pics as they are available. The motor mount will be similiar to the normal "motor screw adjustment" and not have the clamp and cam set up.

so far I have $150.00 invested in the chassis.

Touring Oval should be a blast at Sandhills next year. 6-cell 19 turn on the high banks.................

Tony

your pictures are showing the car with front suspension arms on the rear and a nitro tc3 steering rack right????

DAVE...........

That is correct. Only one kind of arms to keep in the pit box when Brooks hits the wall real hard....LOL LOL LOL.

I mounted front suspension on the rear to allow for the adjustable rear toe. Plus I can alter the wheelbase by changing the "rear" caster blocks. The rear has zero but we can lengthen the RR by installing a 2, 4, or 6 degree caster block. The same can be done to the LR by using the same block and making the left side shorter.

Adding Toe to the LR only will allow the car to "swing" in and out of the corner faster as the LR tire will drive straight during cornering.

Pretty trick huh...............

Tony

The Nitro steering rack eliminates all bumpsteer and gives the correct ackerman. You will need to shim the ball studs if you change the caster from zero.

The rear of the chassis was slotted to accept either the NTC3 rear arm mount or for the stock TC3 Rear block.

Tony

You are a most trash talking person that I have ever talked to!
See I can fix my driving you can't fix the fact you look like Fred Durst! LOL

Your good buddy Brooks LOL

Here is an upclose pic of the rear.


Brooks.............you are the WO-man.................

You still cant fix the driving thing....But yes Tony will always look like The Bizkit Man...............

Amen to that!
Humpty are you going to go Touring oval racing with us cunfused people! LOL

Let Me Think about it I will Get Back To Ya .................................................. ................................ NO

Be nice now boyz................

Tony

Now what fun would that be!

tony i need to get ahold of you via the phone..email me some digits bro wsell@cfl.rr.com
