Most people would run them with high traction surface. Try it with them installed and without.

See if this helps for how to set them up.

Does anyone know if the Xray Diff Gears fit the D07 Diff case? My Friend blew his diff and the gears won't get here for a couple of weeks but the Xray ones are available from the LHS.

Hey...

I have an issue with my D07, dunno how well I can explain it. Im no expert but i'd like to think I know enough to get me by but this problem has me a bit stumped.

Its to do with the front camber/droop. My problem is that I have to have the top arms adjusted a fair amount different (1mm - 1.25mm) to get the same amount of camber left to right. This then effects the droop, the shorter arm doesn't have as much droop as the longer arm.

My first thought was my shocks must be different lengths but no they are spot on exactly same length, I thought maybe the sway bars somehow are limiting bottom arm but with these taken off it makes no difference.

Next step I replaced bottom arms, c-hubs and steering knuckles but still can't get camber top arms to be same length. I thought maybe car has some major tweak going on but after loosening off all screws etc and retightening i got no improvement.

It seems like maybe a bulkhead is outta whack or something? I run in 10.5t class with foam tyres so I am always needing to re-adjust droop because of tyre wear but I can only go so far before one side runs out of droop.

Hope the above makes sense.

Anyone got any ideas?

What are you using to measure camber?
Have you adjust chassis tweak on a flat plate with the top deck loose.

There were a batch of C hubs that weren't machines properly from factory and required 20 seconds work with a hobby knife otherwise they would bind in the front arm.
Are your left and right c hubs Ledt and Right? They have markings on them.

What brand of setup station are uou using?
Some are really bad and inconsistent.
Are you using a flat setup board with droop blocks and gauge.
Are bearings/DCJ in good condition.
Are you using tyres or setup wheels and lastly do you have the outer flat ball cups and thicker inner ball cups in the same position left to right ? Their could just be inconsistencies with the ends and your analysing it too much.. How does it drive?

And using the ssme camber link hole in the upper bulkhead.?

Here is my build that someone cut and paste from page 3 of the D08 Rctech page and submitted it to Petitrc.

I picked it up on the 23rd and finished it Christmas Eve. Best car I've built yet. They've really listened to their Team Drivers suggestions.

Please excuse any typos or other errors. I wasn't able to edit it properly. Shocks are the same TBB so I didn't feature the build of them.

Thank you for your response. I am using a 3racing setup station. Your reply was very detailed and offered some ideas I hadnt thought of. Appreciated. I have near got the problem sorted. Not 100% but i think its within a reasonable tolerance now. It seemed to be major tweak. Loosened most screws and gave chassis a real working over. Tightened on flat setup board and its much much better.

Thank you again.

Asked few months bk if there were any other brand of drive shaft that would fit as the front have been known to snap and had two go on me ( no big crashes just gone under braking and one was second time out )

I have answered my own question I found the X-ray t4 double jointed drive shafts own and spec r fit a treat

also found out y they r weaker it's the way they r machined on the dog one part , Too much machined out for the pin part goes to far down the shaft

Just to let other ppl know if u have a few brake on u so u can try something else

Can someone explain to me which optional suspension brackets are needed to change toe on the d07. And will the new d08 brackets work with the inserts when released? Thanks

tcboy1983

It depends on two things if the screw holes measure the same on the bracket and that the screw holes on the d08 are the same distance apart (front bracket to back bracket holding hinge pin) as with the inserts might change this

If all is ok you would have to mod the new brackets as they have a location peg in the middle in my memory serves me right but plz any one else bk me up or prove me wrong as its only my option from what I seen

I need a little help from any D07 owners. I build my car everything went together great.

I cannot get it to drive in a straight line. It inconsistently wanders left, goes pretty straight then seems to turn right. I stop, look at everything, then try to get it to go across the kitchen floor straight along the lines of the tile floor but then it goes left.

I adjusted trim levels on transmitter, checked the car on a set up station everything is perfect. Turn buckles measured with vernier calipers, all looks good.

The set up sheet calls for +1 toe angle, so means the wheels should slightly toe out right?

I thought maybe I messed up the rear diff, maybe it pulls to one side, so I took off the rear drive belt so back wheels spin freely, but still the car seams to wander left and then right, with front wheel drive only.


Does slight toe out make the front end wander, could the spool make the front tires not track straight?

Brand new out of the box, never wrecked, I build the chassis on a piece of glass so I think it is flat not tweaked.

My first touring car, so I guessing here.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any suggestions you have
