These look just like Battleversion FLCAs but they are branded "TCSportline". I know ebay off brand parts are usually crap but just wanted to see if anyone has heard of or use these. and yes, i've heard the cliche "you get what you pay for". thanks.

Never used them.


I think TCSportline is hit or miss.

I had some spacers of theirs... they were ok at best.
got rid of them.


anyways, this is how the original guys in USA get knocked out of business.
Poor ass 240 kids want to save a buck.

It is sad.

Aren't the BV ones just china ones as well?

Could be wrong, but iirc, Alex didn't engineer those....

[Brian]

dunno.


I have had BV arms on my car since I began.
BEST customer service

[240trainee]

Yea, Alex has always seemed like a good dude, I always ended up at SPL for the same reason, Kuah has always been helpful. Just placed an order to complete the setup for the new car, fuck, lol, money I didn't want to spend, but will be worth it.

[azndoc]

I know the story behind it.

I asked Alex.

But I'm not telling.

[turbo2nr]

if you tell ill give you a dollar!!

[azndoc]

Nope my honor cannot be bought.

Perhaps $1.01 might do the trick.

[turbo2nr]

honor smhonor were not samuri!
case of heniken and well call it even..

[azndoc]

Oh geez..........

Everyone knows that I'm a ninja.

Ninjas have some kind of honor code too.

E-mail Alex and ask him about them. I too know the story behind them because I asked him, but I too am not telling. Go to battle version's website, alex's e-mail link is there. Don't buy the TC sportline ones unless you are willing and able to source new better bearings for them, TC sportline is crap.

Exactly. You get what you pay for.

That is not a cliche, it is the truth! The only LCA's that are really worth any amount of money are the ikeya formula ones. There is a reason that they cost well over $1000 for a set!

[ihatesmog]

Thanks for the info guys. Yea, i know the it's the truth - i just didn't want "you get what you pay for" to be the only reply like some other posts.

[Brian]

You get what you pay for, bro

[racepar1]

You get what you pay for, bro

I knew that was coming, I just didn't know who was going to get to it first!

[Brian]

basically what it comes down to is


what you pay, you get a product reflecting that price.

[240trainee]

You get what you pay for, bro
:love: :love: :love: :love:

[turbo2nr]

yea might as well pay alittle more and get good quality..

[sliksta1]

thats money down the drain right there if buy those crap-bay FLCA arms.
shit imagine driving on the street or racing down the track, your wheel falls off or some shit happens, you wreck and die! all because someone wanted to save a little doe. not good. thats what i think.

[brewster240]

all because someone wanted to save a little doe. .

Why don't you just buy the spl arms?

I mean if you're short, why don't you just suck some dudes off on the dl and come up on some cheddar.

Shit everyone knows that cheapness is related to being gay.

It's been proven.

[canuckster240]

remember kids ebay is so 1999, today ebay is for cheap poser kiddies who cant afford real stuff

[!Zar!]

"ebay" Has been for cheap poser kiddies.

[racepar1]

Why don't you just buy the spl arms?

I honestly don't like the SPL LCA's either. They need to come up with a version 2 of them with better bearings and made in-house.

LMAO!!!!!!!! :rofl: :ghey:

[!Zar!]

True.

But I rather buy from Kuah with the satisfaction of knowing something will end up resolved in the end than running fail from ebay.

[az_240]

Any cheap product I have bought for my car such as TCSportline, Godspeed, SSAuto have always failed or simply did nothing.... besides my chromoly flywheel that seems to be doing ok....

Those are overpriced for TC crap.... buy the real deal

[racepar1]

True.

SPL customer service 1000% rocks, Kuah is the man!

[tracks13]

Kuah should think about a second version as racepar1 said, including the stealth/industrial black coating haha... but thats a bonus.
