I asked AE about the 5mm hexes and the truck...it is a tuning option. So they will work and if they hit your rim then you may want to re-check everything.

I'm running the 2 hole insert with camber link on inside hole in the up position. The shock is with one internal limiter and a stroke of 35mm. The picture is shown at full droop. Wheels are DE Speedline T4.2.

Do I feel it's excessive? Yes, on high bite. No, on med bite. Our track is med/high bite and it didn't have a push or traction roll with sauced SS Chainlinks on the rear. The hub is also forward too... Looks like I need to do some cleaning...

Must be some difference between the de wheels and team associated ones with the exact same settings the ball cups hit the wheel.

3 Gear Set Ups

I have jc wheels and tried it last night, doesn't rub anything. What is hitting? I doubt AE would not have their wheels work.

Started my build last night box stock....ill thrown x-rings in on my first shock re-build....same for all the ft alum. bits....build is super easy and smooth....got yellow wheels, aka inserts and m4 ions coming.

Electronics layout is looking like this:
Reedy blackbox esc
Reedy 8.0 motor
Reedy sq. Lipo
Reedy t-servo
