Apology is accepted and I don't plan on arguing with you either. It's been the 'I'm better than you because I race at a Tamiya track and you only play in your little toy track' attitude that I got me ticked off at times. I do envy that you are near Tamiya's track and I think that's great. But you're forgetting that I too have thousands of hours experience racing TC and M03's, maybe not TCS and while I may not be fully up to date with the current electronics due to my long hiatus, I do understand how RC cars and trucks work, how demanding racing is on your car, the driver, and even the driver's spouses.
My experience says that these minor imperfections is not something that will make or break your race especially when the goal is achieved another way. Plus, we're not talking about a huge mis-alignment in degrees here, well within the tolerance of the steering system. It's not a big deal.
But then I do agree a newbie may not know what is considered a 'big deal' and what is not. That area I need to be careful on my posts. Like me not gluing my tires on the inside lip on some of my tires. Experience tells me which tires will not grip well enough to come apart from the wheels in certain driving conditions, but a newbie may not know what that threshold is.
I can tell you've outgrown the level of advice I dispense-----like I said, it's for the newer guys and not the Pro's like you. No sarcasm meant in the Pro's comment, but for the level of your expertise.
The reason I say this is in Step 5 of the procedure I outlined for a relatively inexperienced guy, I say to adjust to 90 with the sub trim of the TX. I put some time and careful thought into that post and in essence you said it was bull shit and then didn't bother to read it. That's not fair and some "newbie" may decide based on your comment that don't bother cause you can fix it with the TX. That's misleading and careless.
If you don't read my advice, don't comment. If you do, read the whole thing. Let's try to help the guys who might read this stuff.
