Got it!
Used two Tiger Drive shims and dremeled the lower ears off and it's good to go! Break in is complete and my son and I will work on the fine tuning.
Noticed that we sheared off the mounting screw for the front tourqe rod after smashing into a 4x6 upright wooden beam head on with no ill effects other than the screw. Picked one up at B&B Hobby here in town along with a fuel filter.
These newbies and their new TT ST-1 are ready to rock with a fireworks and nitro filled 4th of July !
Thanks to all, great forum, great hobby!
