We are still waiting on the new parts to arrive (in spare parts packaging). Once they arrive, you will need your kit receipt (dated before November 1st, 2012) to obtain a coupon good on our site for 50% off the replacement parts. You will need to have a registered account on the Tekno RC website so we can assign the coupon to your email address (we won't put you on any mailing lists, don't worry).
We should have the parts soon, so if you want to get in on the replacement discount, have your receipt ready (i.e. scanned and ready to send to us). We'll let you know as soon as we get them in. Thanks.

I have a favor to ask....
Does anyone who races at SDRC have a setup station and mind hooking me up with a one-time adjustment? I've just finished my build, and I'm using Danny's setup sheet. Last step is to get the toe and camber right but it's totally off. I've done it by eye, but I'd sure love for it to be dialed...
I hate being a mooch but I just don't have the cash to be investing in a setup station :/ I am willing to pay a few bucks though, if needed.
Let me know plz

I have one. The problem with the setup station (Well not really an issue with the setup station) is that it sits snugly against the hub. When mounting your wheels and tires, the camber will appear to be inaccurate because the wheels do not mount snugly against the hub and tend to have a fair amount of play.
What do you do instead?

I'm probably going to cease using it. Any of the quick camber gauges that you press up against the wheel should work.
If you want to measure toe, you can do so with the setup station after you measured your camber at the wheels. You would only need to install the setup station onto the front wheels. Just remember that toe and camber have an effect on one another, so you will need to go back and forth a couple of times.
If you know a bit of trigonometry, you can calculate your toe with a ruler.
tan 0 = y/x
0 = the angle
x = the diameter of the wheel
y = the difference in distance between points taken from the front and rear of the wheel.
Again, you are welcome to use the setup station if you like.
