Z01T Brake linkage
I finally got my servo's and the linkages set up on my truggy, however, the top brake linkage is hitting the center diff mount. It's the collar on the top brake linkage hitting the top cf deck on the center diff. mount. It wouldn't matter if I moved the collar towards the servo some, because it will have to travel so much it would hit then too. The bottom collar clears it by a mm or so. What can I do to fix this? I thought about raising the servo a bit, but then I believe the bottom would hit.

I guess it's time to order those Tony's screws. I still need 3mm washers for the shock mount revision, and now washers for this. Does anyone know if his kit includes washers as well?
EDIT: Nvm, just searched it, seems to be the ticket

The Hitec does not require a spacer but it does specify in the manual which ones do and do not. But you are wright the kit does come with spacers for the servo's.

Hmm I must have overlooked the different spacers!! I'm running S9351's with the stock servo horns/inserts. It was bought new so I do have all the spacers.

Look on pg 21 in your manual Illust. 30 or pg 22 illust. 31 for the throttle and brake servo. Should get you going in the wright direction. Hope that helps.

Well I went back to the manual, it must have been a late night when I put that together!! I had the 2mm spacers installed! I removed them and installed the 3mm ones called for, and had the same problem.... So I added a 1mm spacer on either side, to give me a total of 4 mm. this cleared the top linkage, but brought the lower linkage close to rubbing. So I added a small washer on the bottom of the servo horn where it connects, now we're trouble free!
As a side note, I can't speak for any other kits, as I've never built another, but it's nice to have so many options, and tuning tools with this kit! Some you don't even realize you have

I believe you PM'd me Scott Cramer's set-up, I've already got it set as close as I could get it to that, minus the toe and camber as I don't have the gauges YET. But she's finally turning and braking, just can't wait to drive it and get it all set up and tuned to just the way i like it. Sadly the OD .21 and pipe will have to wait a bit more, as I just spent my rc budget on plane tickets to fly from cali. to Jersey to see my girlfriend since I won't get to leave here again til march

your mistaken brother, the steering servo does not require one but it calls for a 1mm spacer for the hitec throttle servo. you might want to take another look at the manual, its on page 31.
with the futaba throttle servo you need a 3mm spacer, im sure this is what your problem is!

Did not mean to step on your toe's just trying to help out.

How was it setting the brakes up? I can already tell if left as is mine will lock up before half of the trigger pull, so I'll have to tone it way down, but what about the brake bias? Which do you prefer to brake the most? It looks to be set-up for front braking, is that what most prefer?
