Hello all,
Just got a T1000a from Dan and am trying to get it dialed in and buttoned up before my first run with it. I have started going over the kit starting at the front and working my way back. So far I have:
1) tightened up bead locks with blue loctite after finding them loose
2) did the steering slop mod to the ball links on the steering arms
3) cut down two led flashlights to make x2 3v led throwers
4) plasti dipped both servos/ballooned the rx
5) loctite carb screws
6) inner tube shock sock mod
7) roughed brake disc set brake tens on linkage
8) set end points on tx for TH and ST servos
9) Changed plug to NGK, gapped and installed
10) loctite header screws
I know a lot of other guys have been getting I to the diff and checking lube situation...I am holding off on this until I find out what diff oil to buy, and until the split case alloy that everyone recommends gets here. I am also curious what setups you guys are running in toe in and camber. The rear looks like over 2-4 degrees toe in and has probably 6-8 degrees negative camber. While the front is not matching side to side with one (DF) 3-4 degrees neg camber and 1 deg toe in...the other (PF) 0 deg camber and approx 1-2 degrees toe out. Kind of a nightmare out of the box. Any advice on other things I should be checking and/or doing will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
