Check befor you buy...
lost of companys have Instruction manuals online etc...
instruction manual and you will see a part in it "what you need" or "required"...
and if you get a pro/Competition rc car its more than normal that no tools are included.

The amount of flexing required to get it to touch on my car is far
more than what the car will be generating on the track.
And as far as balancing my car is perferctly balanced left to right on the Hudy balance buttons.

I was readin the first half of the thread and it was entirely about the Xray suspension mount issues, chassis breaking, etc.
Just to check, do u guys use the 1-piece suspension mount holder for the front's rear suspension block? What about the rear's front suspension block (1-piece or the separate blocks)?
Does it take away much performance?

Has any one of you had any problems with lack of clearance between battery and top deck on a T3?
The new battery I just got for my T3 is a little thick, and although it is not tight, there is less than half a milimeter clearance between the battery and the top deck. I am concerned whether this lack of space could be a problem, since I know the T3 chassis is designed to 'flex' to certain extent, and half a milimeter may not be enough room for such flex.
Should I be concerned at all, and if this is a problem, what would be the best way to fix it? (Aside from getting rid of the battery, obviously) Should I remove just a tiny bit of material from the upper deck?
Thanks in advance!

Because the servo link from the servo horn goes slightly downward to the servo saver, do not set the servo horn to vertical when attaching it to the servo's drive shaft. Attach the arm leaning slightly forward so it is at a 90 degree angle with the servo link (looking at it from the battery side without the pack in place) while in the neutral position. As you view the action of the servo link to the horn you will see why this placement is necessary.
Prior to doing this, you should set both epa's back to 100 or you will not be able to recognize the positive effect of having the 90 degree angle described above. After you are done adjust L/R travel equally using only steering travel/dual rate. You'll love it!

I use a full-sized JR 9000 servo (with transponder on top) on my T3 because to add weight to that lightest corner of the car. Have 3 of the Hudy 12 gm weights inside the rear battery slots (opposite the motor) and one each Hudy 10 gm weights at the left front and right rear to achieve 1425 grams for ROAR. Using a ThunderPower 5000 battery pack. Car is very balanced at all four corners on my scales.
I had the exact same issue when I had the servo horn set vertically while servo was in its neutral position...
