Help with setting up front end:
I'm rebuilding a used B4.1 Worlds. Both the front tires are pigeon-toed. I don't think this is right, so, which of the turnbuckles do I adjust in order to bring them in line?
Also, should I have any toe-in or camber?
Help is needed right away 'coz I'm going to be running tomorrow (first time)

I tried looking through the thread under search but I'm now running the big bores and was wondering if I should keep the losi springs since i have all the colors I was running before with the v2's .was using red fronts white rears .or should I change to a different color

Got cha'. Thanks. BTW, you were spot on. That turnbuckle is waaay off. Should have been obvious even for a nooB.

But are you comparing broken in bro codes to broken in bar codes? I thought the bro codes were just to speed up the break in process, not completely eliminate it all together. You seem pretty thorough in your testing, so I bet you compared broken in to broken in.

Now, I've gone by the manual and adjusted both (actually all 4) turnbuckles to 2.62" from center of ball cup to center of ball cup and that makes my pigeon-toed problem even worse......... I'm looking at the manual and that's what it says to me..... am I reading this wrong? H E L P ! ! !

any setup you recommend starting with R.Shackleford?
Also, what spring kits or even just spring rates do you recommend having for big bore shocks when going from hi traction like carpet, or, loose dirt conditions?

F'd up servo?!
Tonight I clipped the edge of a pipe that had come apart right at the end of the straight. It sheared my a arm off and busted my shock tower. Now my servo bounces back and forth as if it can't find center. It still works fine and if it has some resistance like wheels on the ground it doesn't do it, just on the stand. Is this something I can fix or does it need service? Its a jr9100s I use the avid steering and aluminum servo arm so is this going to keep busting my servos? I know the losi buggy has no saver at all and the locked steering is pretty common, but I'd rather not replace a $140 servo more than once every few years!

Yeah, I've got both of those, I just needed to know how to correct the problem.
Now, I've gone by the manual and adjusted both (actually all 4) camber links to 2.62" from center of ball cup to center of ball cup and that makes my pigeon-toed problem even worse......... I'm looking at the manual and that's what it says to me..... am I reading this wrong? H E L P ! ! !

Did you check the actual servo horn to see if it has any stripped teeth?
One reason when running the T4.1 with the no servo saver setup I keep using plastic heavy duty horns was on a hard enough hit, the horn would break. Sucks when it happened, but, as you said, better than replacing a servo at that cost, and I run the same servo as you do.

It's much easier to adjust all of that with the car turned on do that the servo holds the wheels still.
