Thanks
Toe - eyeball it

Front sway - don't stick the bar all the way to the end of the ball. About halfway in is right. You want there to be play in the bar and for it to move freely but not too much slop.

It was a solid blue truck.

I was running a white/black/green SCTE with white wheels. I left around 3pm though.

You basically position the bar ends so that the link to the arm is straight up and down.

@hacker have YOU heard anything on the parts? I know you said you would let us know once you hear more, I read almost every post on this thread every day and have yet to notice any info on this topic. To me it does not matter when they come, I just want to know when that payment is going to come off my credit card! kidding aside, I would just like to know the expected time. Again it does not matter when! Thanks.

word of advice for anyone running the truck for the first time, put some locktight on the thumb screws, i almost lost one. Also anyone running a soft cell bigger 2 cell battery you will have to dremel out the top strap to get it to fit and move the rear battery holder back one hole.

I'm not 100% sold on the thumb screws. I will lose one eventually. I actually liked the simple reliability of the Velcro straps. Anyway:

I sooooo want to run this truck with a shorty pack. 5 minute qualifiers with a Schuur Speed 4300 pulled about 2500 mah out of my batteries. Love to try like a 60+ C 4000 mah shorty.

Use a 2mm shock spacer and use that as a spacer for the front post and thread lock that one in place locked down so it does not move. Then you just have the rear one that you have to take off to swing the battery brace out of the way to remove the battery. I always just spin the one screw back into place after I take out the battery. This way you only have to mess with one of them!

I gave one of my LHS a ring and they are quoting a date of 4/20. This date has been mentioned before of what HH fast server has listed? I guess we'll need to be patient or get the kit....and try not to break/loose any of those 2.0 exclusive parts until 4/20!
