I'm pretty sure I installed them tapered side down and flat side up (as the shock is normally installed with the shock body on top).

As for my rear camber links...doh! I'll turn them around tonight.

I've got my RX8 all boxed up and ready for the RMA. I get nervous when the paperwork to send the Rx8 in wants your Credit card information on it. And says $94 for repair. Even though this thing is 2 weeks old, this is the kind of thing that happens to me.

i think thats just the speed up the processing if they find the issue to be user error.

Castle has never charged me, but then again i never fill in the CC line haha

Yeah, I don't like putting credit card information on a piece of paper sent in the mail.

leave it blank, they will call u if they feel they need to charge you...my mmm is already back in the mail on its way back to me =P

+1. Include your cell number so that they can contact you immediately if they do need your CC info.

The paperwork is pretty direct, Ill see how I feel tomorrow when I fill it out.

Hey gregg,

I have the XP Digital DS1015 servo. Made my associated. I'm pretty sure this is the same one you have.

Which hole on the servo steering horn did you use? The end, middle, or closest?

Frank

Ill probably just do that, I know about following rules though, and I dont want to get tossed to the bottom of the pile because I didnt follow instructions.

Frank, that servo is made by Ace, which is the same thing. its just not branded by Associated. But I used the servo horn that actually came with the RC8Be kit (single sided) and I used the outer most hole. Just poke it with an x-acto knife to open the hole up.

This is how mine came.

For some reason numbers stick very well to mind here too!

Yeah, that is a good point. But time will show what happens. No reason to change them before it eventually happens. And as you know this car is more onroad than offroad now, so it won't get that much bashing and jumping anymore

Gregg I had to return a 10th scale RS PRO once for a screw up that I made. I even told Tekin it was my mistake and what I had done. And they still didn't charge me. Great bunch to deal with. I would just call them a few days after they should have it just to see what was wrong. Good Luck

Nice, thanks for the input oldandnew. I wish I knew what did happen to it. If it was something I did, I just can't imagine trying to upgrade the software would cook the board.

Everyone,

In the spirit of RC tech's best thread (RC8be thread); I too will carry on the tradition of posting up the final pictures of my newly completed RC8be.

I am ordering the skid plates and the dust guards. Otherwise, she's pretty much done!

BTW, I want to do a cammie paint job like the one I've attached into this post. Different colors, but the same concept. Does anyone have any clue how to make this pattern happen?

And to all that have assisted me in this build with my questions and sharing all of your knowledge:

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is rctech's best thread, solely because of my amazing timelapse video =P

DUde that car is looking so damn SEXY holy moly.. I can't wait to get mine also what do you guys suggest to do first when you get something used from someone? I usually go through the shocks and reoil them all, check the steering linkage to make sure nothing binds, then the drive train (that was for all the 1/10 scale stuff). What would you suggest on these beasts?
