What is the stock rear toe? That is with the rear blocks in the center.

Hobbico and Hitec have the same spline. Whatever servo horn you use on the Hitec it will be a direct fit on the Hobbico...

I believe if you have the dots in the middle in the rear toe block you are running 2.75, which is stock. If the dots are at the bottom you add a degree of anti-squat from the rear. If the dots are high and in the middle, you are running 2.75 with O anti from the rear. In other words, if the dots are high you aren't adding any anti-squat from the rear.

i just noticed a couple of things with the tank, etc. Firstly, when you raise the tank you will have to shave some plastic off the splash guard otherwise the filter will want to twist a little upwards. Also, when you use the stock fuel line routing I noticed that the brake linkages orings rub slightly on the fuel line (when compressed). Anybody have any solutions other than a complete re-routing?

You can try to find springs that go between the brake plates, then there should be no worries about the fuel line resting on the brake orings (I think hobao made em). I sure you can find them on...

What way do i need to run the insert in the back for 3 degrees toe?

Also the ofna break springs dont work...I just tried them and they arent long enough to work because of the break pad. I just got the agama ones and they worked perfectly.

Are you suggesting replacing the orings with the brake springs?? It could possibly be eliminated by shaving some of the fuel filter clips joining mechanism to enable it to be slightly angled upwards....?

Three degrees would be the dot out towards the wheels.

He's talking about putting springs in between the brake pads to stop any drag on the discs.

Out towards the wheel with dot down right? If that is right then what would the dot in the middle on the c block put the anti squat at?
