some more hopups arrived today
e.g. red xenon 1° rear hub carriers, seems like the stock hubcarriers have 2° of toe in !
but the xenon hubcarriers are heavier then the stock ones and the have a little play
well the stock ones wer binding
take a look at the picture, the xenon hubs have a diffrent bearing location

The 1 deg hubs are great.... it's give a total of 3deg rear-toe-in... and you don't have to mess with the off-center arm mount balls.

Interesting TC3, looks like the arm may have more angle with that offset ?

Have you got the same hubs on there? since the Xenon one has 1degree it may be in the opposite direction, compare it against the other one and it may show less difference.

Bearing height looks like a minimal change, haven't heard of any problems caused by it any way.

Of course it will be heavier, but I never had binding with my kit items, some have reported slop in the alloy items, maybe it's to allow for any kit differences, most other kits need a spacer here and there too.

looks like you need a new hex driver though it looks a little rounded and even twisted

PLEASE HELP

Well, that's your call. As rc-zombies said earlier, "Buy what you can afford". R/C is an expensive hobby and it's not necessary to buy the most expensive stuff to have fun. Don't get caught up in all the hype.

Also, have you checked out the "For Sale" forum. You can find some pretty good deals out there.
