Thanks David. I used the plastic bumper brace instead of the graphite because using just those shims still left a gap when using the graphite one. I'm assuming you have some left over shims to fill that gap with when using the graphite brace?

Shameless plug here. I can't post links because we have not yet become a forum sponsor, however, we are waiting for a response on our inquiry as to how to proceed.

We have started fully supporting the TCXX at our shop. The remaining parts for the TCXX should be in stock by the end of the week, however we have a ton of items in stock as well. If you guys need anything for it, part ideas or requests, let me know and we will look into it. Our plan is to start making a few products for the TCXX, namely spool cups and DCJ's.

Another noob question. Is what comes with the kit as far as steering servo components all I need? Someone at the track suggested I get a servo saver, but isn't what comes with the kit a servo saver?

If you can call it that - the supplied servo saver is quite 'savey' :-) Others have replaced theirs with the Tamiya servo saver + the 3 racing horn. I've done something similar, and the Tamiya version works *much* better.

Thank you for the advice Dogbone. So the stock servo saver isn't good? If so, could you provide the specific servo saver / horn (the exact part number) that most people are using? I have a Savox 4096 digitial servo, if that matters.

Hi all,

Is anyone having problems with getting the right rear end to the correct degrees?

I'm using the standard setup R/F 0 Degrees and R/R 3 Degrees but when I put it on my setup station left side is 3 Deg and Right is 2 Deg? I have swap everything over and always the same results.. I even put a rear 0 deg pivot block and the left side was 0 but the right was out by 1 deg again?

Any ideas?

thanks for your time.

I haven't had any issues - I did measure the backend, and L/R were both 3deg.

Is it possible your setup station is off?

Its your hubs, HB had this issue with the cyclone through to the TCX. Alloy hubs is a fix or try another set of hubs.

It doesn't effect the car as much as you would think

Alex, why are you here??? Thinking about the change

Re: toe reading. I noticed something similar when I was playing with different toe blocks. In the end I didn't worry about it becuase I have one of the new HUDY toe guages, I borrow one of the old etched guages from a friend and It was perfect. seems they don't all read exactly the same.

If you aren't driving on boarded tracks, using a servo horn is usually safe enough. It also guarantees there's no moment in the "saver" and generally is a little more responsive.
