You may need to adjust the shims under the ballstud on the steering rack, I believe I have more than what the kits calls for. I'll check on my cars when I get home. I think my link will hit the driveshaft, though at steering angles that are beyond what I use to race with. You may also try using the outer upper hole, it is in between the 2 middle holes

thanks... im sure i will. having a little trouble reading the set up sheets properly... i dont really understand how the upper camber link positions translate to the car... to me it doesnt seem like there are as many upper camber positions as are listed on the set up sheet... for example.... like in the rear it shows 5 options, but on the car, there are only 4 spots... again, i might be missing something, but its confusing.
im excited about the car! it really is a piece of art!

The camber link positions are confusing, especially since they can be changed with different parts like AM19 and AM18-1. Here's a few pages I bookmarked my first time through that I think help clear things up.

i have never had a car with a 'rear caster' adjustment... am i correct in assuming the only thing it does is adjust the wheelbase? or will it also behave similarly to anti squat etc?

Based on a post I found form searching, Oleg said if your arm is a little long and the tie rod hits the top deck to just bend the tie rod a little to clear.
I would like to use the inner most holes on the chassis to move the servo in more but the ball cup and tie rod would interfere even more with the top deck. Ill take some pics today to show my setup as its been working pretty good. My next change will be to switch to KO servo and get the KO carbon arm/horn that comes in a 3 arm kit and use the middle size arm as its the perfect length based on the manual and move the servo in to the center holes with a new ST21S that is strait.
Updated with pics. On the rack I use a smaller ball stud from an AE and AE open ball cup. I shave down the bottom side of it to not rub the drive shaft with turned fully right.

Hi everyone. My first ever post . I have been racing the A700 EXL in the UK for 5 months now and have found a few things that you might like to try to resolve some of the recent posts on here.
1. Use a Xray servo saver, this imho is the best you can buy and does the job perfectly.
2. GD2 parts. I use a TOP Photon EX cross piece and the same make of small washers for the satelite gears, not tryed TOP washers for the planet gears yet. Also the EX gears look exactly the same as the Xray gears but I have not measured or used them as I had Xray gears already. I use Sweep 3K diff oil and that seems 100% perfect to me.

ok, so i got home and checked my dampers... i have taken pictures of the both of the L6 dampers so that you can see the difference. One of them has something it it... that is stopping the SPR02 from going in. is it something that wasn't put together properly at the factory or am i missing something here. the other three dampers are perfect and work fine...

My advice is to be patient and push through the learning curve. It will take a little while before everything clicks and feels comfortable, but it's worth the wait. If you're racing stock, this car is outright faster than everything else. It takes time to get it right.
