Okay, I have the new kit coming. I have a question about droop. I can set this up pretty easy on my touring car. I get the ride height. Then I lift the car until the tires begin to lift and get the chassis height. This height minus my ride height gives me droop.
When dealing with offroad, everyone specifies droop with shock length. I always assume that is the maximum shock length, fully extended before you put it on the car. That can't be right. You can't control that. Is this the maximum length once you put it on the car? You can modify this with the droop screws.
Also, all my offroad cars seem to have a lot more droop than the front end (lot more movement before wheels lift off the floor). Is that the case for most offroad cars?

For those that have built this truck, anyone else having an issue with the screws to secure the steering links to the akerman bar? Both mine the heads were soft, and stripped before ever getting even close to being snug...still had a couple mm's to go. Ended up using 2 sets of pliers to snug them up. And yes before you ask, the bit was snug before starting the screws on both of them, I triple checked looking at the second one after having the first one happen. Second one did the same thing. It's on and where she needs to be, but it's going to suck if I ever feel the need to change that position.

And to be more accurate. After you do one side of the vehicle, do it the other side the touring car method. The touring car method is much more accurate. Just use the setup side as the reference point for measuring from your board to the bottom of some known point out on the hub.

i had to order a couple new tekno hex drivers. my 5 year old losi set just isn't up to par anymore. diff screws are almost impossible without a good hex. I rounded 2 of them and had to stop..hopefully ill get them by fri or sat..I am dead in the water without a good 2.0mm

The tekno drivers look cool, but I don't see a pass thru option on the handle which I would want, especially at that price.

I won't know till i get it and nothing is mentioned about it, but the pic shows a hole towards the end. I'm assuming the set screw can't be seen in the pic on the other end. never seen a set screw at the end of the handle.

Those type of hexes, ones with a set screw hitting the axle, are junk. They create a pressure point on the stub axle. This creates a weak point that can lead to breaking stub axles. It happened to me on my old SCRT10 a few years back. I will only use the clamping style aluminum hexes or the stock plastic. Just my oppinion.
