2 Speed setting
Dear all i am building by 801 and just came across the 2 speed. Do you have to tighten the screws where you hold the two sping all the way till the spacers and just leave them like that ???

You gently tighten both springs till they stop then turn them out 2.5 turns each. That's good starting point. Then adjust to your track. Two speed is ultra smooth

thank you....I'm very happy with the car.....was running it up in Connecticut this weekend.....the only problem I was having with it is the clutch.....Couldn't get it to work 100% right....Also the graphite pieces in the rear shocks kept on breaking by just gracing the board...Jary said he's been making some of those out thicker material....Hopefully I'll get some from him before the weekend.......

Anyone using the front wire sway bar on their C801? I can not screw in the ball cups on the bottom of the front arms. I applied serious amounts of pressure with the 4mm hudy driver and It will just not make a thread in the plastic. Any hints on how to put them into the lower front arms properly?

Just get a tap and tap the plastic, when you screw in the ballcup it will go right in, and by taping it you also prevent the plastic from splitting.
When you screw the ballcup in without tapping it, all you're doing is displacing the material, when you tap it you actually cut material off.

Steering Servo to Servo Saver Turnbuckle issues
Hey people, i am having problems installing the turnbuckle between the steering servo and servo saver as it seems that its really tight. What servo horn measurment do you suggest as i beleive that mine is way to long. Also the plastic turnbuckle end parts seem to bind with the servo saver and servo horn resulting in not a smooth turn. Tried shaving a bit the plastic and it did get better but still not happy with result.
Thanks
