-spektum DX3S and sr301 receiver.
Suspension
-Bypass1 pistons
-yellow front springs/red rear
-yellow front sway bar/orange rear
-emulsion style
-all 4 on the middle hole/all outside on the arms
-32.5 front fluid/40 rear
-exotek rear hubs 6mm on hub stud/5mm inner stud
-rpm arms all around
-ride height 25mm front/26mm rear
- -2 camber all around
- +2 toe
Drive train
-60k in the front/5k in the rear
-Exotek locked front
-20t rear/19t front
-VTS slipper

Are you running inside on a high grip carpeg track... anyway the setup looks similar in some points to what the guys here runs....

Hi guys. I stripped my servo today racing. The one that was in it when I bought it wasn't strong enough.
Now the problem I have is I'm trying to install the new servo however I do not have a servo alignment tool as I bought this vehicle second hand. Will I need to purchase one or is there a way to get around this? I put everything back together and it seems when I try and turn the vehicle right, it doesn't pull as much as the left.
I followed the Teamm Associated videos on installing the servo and horn.

Ditch those silly servo mounts and install the servo on the chassis instead.
Truck will handle better , makes servo repairs easier.
Grind the X on the chassis flush and mount the blue Ae servo brackets , will be glad you went though the trouble.

I ran the stock horn for over a rear without breaking it and I don't think the guy that bought it about 6 mo ago has broken it either.
Which savox? One of the TG servos?
High amp draw power system pushing 6+ lb trucks on 2 cell packs and a savox 1256/7 TG servo means you need a CC 10a bec. From personal experience.
I'll let someone else help with setup, been too long since I drove one.

My ESC is a Hobbywing SCT Pro with a 4700kv motor (Geneysis Power 2S 5000 mah) batteries
Also I run the stock servo arm with a Exotek aluminum rack and a STRC aluminum bellcrank and have not broke it yet

Hi guys. I stripped the front end again and re installed the servo. I used a ruler to align the servo output with the bellcrank. Everything seemed ok and I put everything back. I used my remote to stabalise the servo before placing the horn on.
When I went to test it, it's still pulling a lot to the left. I used the trim on my radio and got the vehicle running in a straight line. Now the problem I have is the vehicle is turning sharply to the left when I ask it to but not turning so sharply to the right? Any idea what I'm doing wrong or how I fix it on my radio?
Also, I had to put the trim on my radio to R82. Surely I shouldn't have to put it that high and their must be something wrong with my installation?
Also on the S/R I put it at
L: 100%
R: 150% (max).
This seems to bring turning to the right nearly as tight as turning to the left.
My radio is. Spektrum 4s

My newly arrived second hand 4x4 is making a strange noise.
On deceleration, it has a descending whining noise as it comes to rest. Not so noticeable on acceleration, but it's there. No noticeable binding or clicking. Yet to look in the rear diff.
Any thoughts, I rebuilt the front diff. 7000wt oil in. Cleaned up and meshing at 90%, bit of skipping.... could that be issue? Haven't looked at the rear diff, seems very smooth on first impressions. Bit dusty in the drive belt section. Slipper pads have friction. Not too tight on the rearslipper. What should I be doing first before replacing gears and belts and bearings? Slipper too tight? I've got the front idler spring right in. Is that right? I'm new to AE 4x4's, but have worked on plenty of teansmissions on AE's and Traxxas Slash 4x4's.
