You guys running on real grippy tracks with all that rear toe or something?
Just curious because in conditions here I found that anything more than 3 to 3.5 degree rear toe in loose track conditions makes both the truck and buggy suffer from too violent of a break in traction. In other words, at least for me it's much more controllable with a little less toe and the rear comes around in a more controllable manner.

from what I have seen the vehicle can push more as the traction comes up when you run a lot of toe. This is from my experiences with the SCT410 and its various toe options and other vehicles in various scales.

what I have done in general is find a toe setting that plants the rear sufficiently for my base setup, then, make changes to help with rotation. If a given toe setting seems to not provide enough traction or too much even with basic linkage changes, I then make an adjustment to toe.

Again, just what I do. The Pros here probably have a better suggestion.

Looks good! Motor wiring is an optical illusion; I had to do a triple take. You might want to consider adjusting your servo arm to be more parallel with the arm on the steering rack. Also, regarding the front and mid braces - my car was a bit more drivable with the front and rear chassis braces removed.

Always run the front brace. The Rear and Middle are commonly removed as a tuning option though.

I spoke to Tekno a couple days ago and they said 2+ more weeks do to a manufacturing issue. So by the time we receive ours(if you already ordered) it will be 3 weeks minimum.

Sorry - that's what I meant - rear/middle!

I found that sometimes to much rear toe made the car unstable on corner entry in some conditions.
