Essentials

a) IMPORTANT: Use wash like MUGE0161 "Mugen FRONT TRACK WIDTH ADJUSTMENT SPACER) on lower Pivot balls to prevent premature failure.

Dimensions of washer: 6mm inner and 14mm outer so any equivalent brand will work.


Recommendations

a) Use Alum Servo Arm

TD340122 25T
TD340123 24T
TD340124 23T

or Hot Bodies 67168 24T, 67169 25T or 67167 23T


b) The tank lid seal can be adjusted with the screw in the centre. The tighter the screw the LESS the tank will seal. Screw-off 1 or 2 turns just make it perfect.



c) For the front bumper not touch the inserts, also have removed the boss inside the front bumper

The front bumper on the buggy has two standoffs on it, each standoff is positioned right over the insert on either side, if you nose dive to hard or hit the front awkward the standoffs can push your hinge pin through the back insert.
The fix is to dremel off the standoffs.



d) Also, glue the nut in the servo-saver

e) Shock Build options

A dot will make a half degree change and a line will make a full degree change to the hinge pin angle in the opposite direction of the dot or line. You change the toe (horizontal dots/lines) and anti squat (vertical dots/lines).

for the washer mod are you guys doing just the lower a-arms or the tops too?
And if the tops, what size washer equates to "X" camber amount?

wont work on the tops, only because the top is not flanged like the bottom.
So the flange can be tightened against the washer.
If you try to use the 2 more bottoms for the top, I don't knoe if they are the same length, or size?
not to mention, you will have to remove your tires to adjust the camber all the time. Because the top pillow ball has a adjusting nut on it.
If removing the front tires all the time to adjust your camber doesn't bother you, then buy 2 extra lower flanged pillow balls.
Also consider...
everytime you adjust the upper if you have a washer, you will have to totally remove the pillow ball and either add a shim or washer to keep the pillow ball flanged against it.
So, I guess all in all. It would be best and most simple, to just add the washer to the bottom, & so far know one has complained or adressed any issues for the upper...

just my thought on it..

Stick with stock. Pillowballs stay smooth a long time. Just make sure there is no binding.

No you can view them with apple device no problem download adobe reader from App Store if you don't have it and open the file in Adobe and you will get the proper setup sheet filled out as it should be not blank sheets. I was having the same problem a while ago and tried it then no more blank sheets

Download the adobe app from the app store, when you open the setup sheet in the browser a banner comes up saying "open with" tap that and select the adobe app
