Casper I wanted to ask a follow up question to your answer about the turnbuckle length in the manual stock setup sheet was wrong and to make sure they are both the same length and adjust as needed. I don't believe the original question was answered though, does the length specified in the manual setup sheet reflect the toe angle in the setup sheet? How about the SCTE 1.0 is it true for that too?

I actually use the losi shock matching tool to measure the turnbuckle length and ensure they are of equal length; but the measurements are from the center of the screws and not the outer edge of the eyelets. If I know that too be true, I'll have an easier way to build the turnbuckles. I understand that I'll may need to perform final toe measurements once the wheels are on, but I wouldn't expect there need to be much adjustment at that point.

I always suggest mounting the receiver on the flat side of the servo mount as that is what it is there for. It also makes it so thngs cannot puddle around it. I have run my reciever like this for years and never had an issue. The transponder goes right next to it for one nice neat tidy pacakge.

Curious about this too?? I have shrink tubing (partially) over the posts on my RS as well.

If you are, do you use accelerator?

I took AP physics in high school 20 some odd years ago and remember something about heat transfer. This seems to make sense to me, but...
