Bob,

You must have the screws swapped front to rear. The rear screws are 40mm(1.5") long. The fronts are only 16mm and won't reach the threads in the front half of the gearbox.

I see you're in Santa Clara, you can buy me a beer for lunch. Where are you going to run it?

Default camber length

using protc3 set up what should the rear camber link be hole to hole. hope his set up helps settle the rear end down. love the car otherwise. reminds me of my tekno d8 before i got it dialed. it will come, thanks for the help guys.

I just finished the build and wiring of my EB48. Tekno RC did a great job with this car. The build quality and fit rivals that of XRAY.

I will throw the car on the setup board tomorrow and I should be ready to roll.

I will measure that up when I get home later. As long as you are in the right locations and the camber is set to 1 degree you should be fine. Just be sure that your speedo is set according to track conditions. I see so many cars with traction problems that setup just cant fix. They just have too much motor. I am running an RX-8 with throttle profile 1 and -15 on the expo on the throttle from the radio to curve the power. Between this and the setup, the car was insane.

The stock camber locations on the rear are 2-C from there if you want more traction you should make the link longer and higher on the shock tower.

Nice wiring job. Did you replace the ESC fan and does it blow upward or downward?
