im, on page 15 bag G and i have a question about the swaybar pivots well i know in order to get "25.4mm" which i set my cailer at 25.40 for the front pivots i had to screw them the pivot ball in all the way .

well, on page 15 im doing know im doing the rear sway bar pivots and it says to have them at 27.4mm so i set my caliber at "27.40 mm" and looking at the picture to the right of the page it looks like its screwed in all the way but i tried that and it dint work so i have 1 tread showing to get "27.40 "so i guess its fine ?

Yes, it's fine.

Sure there are things to tweak for certain tracks or temperatures, but people who change everything before even hitting the track then post saying it's not handling right crack me up.
Same here. I raced mine this weekend for the first time and loved the truck. The setup was awesome. TONS of steering. Finished 2nd with it.

The 2 JConcepts bodies are slightly different lengths because with the adapter it needs to be a little shorter. Either ought to work with the proper trimming though.

The box setup is dailed. I ran it for the better part of a year before I made any changes. It was a rough decision to make when I did too because I was worried it would be worse then before.

As far as the maintenance goes I am probably pushing the limits but its really hard to justify hours of wrenching when its running as good as it is. Im going to do it soon though just for a little piece of mind.

Do you mean he should slow down the build even more? Is that even possible?

Do you plan on doing any maintenance on the truggy once you are done putting it together?

i said in a post last week that he should be done in a month or two. i never thought you (tc5) would be really clogging up this thread with your build.. just put it together,read and stop filling page after page on this thread with your stupidity.. its like people make fun of you or say it in a nice way and you ignore it and just keep going. dude ripped on the lamp in your default pic and you say your mom got it at a discount furniture store that was clo sing.. bro ill say it nice please stop with your nonsense posts,if you need your hand held through the build call a friend but your killing this thread..the buggy thread is so informative with daily posts and the truggy thread is tc5 for months now with pure bullpoop..what are you going to ask when its built can someone please drive it for me? think before you post or reply to people your killing this thread,you cant be this stupid to ignore the fact.

Really? Give the kid a break. Granted he does Ask the same question multiple times. He should work on reading what ppl say and listen to them the first few posts. But your continous rants arent doing this thread any better for this thread either for you two will go at it for a few pages. Now we all have dumb question, yes even you mr king, granted TC5 may have more but deal with it. Every one here gives him a helpfull answer but you just insult him.

I say enough is enough for you and your attacks on TC5. If you want to rant TC5 do it in pms to him not here.
