Hi Lee, do you have the dimensions of your rx anywhere, and how much spare space it leaves in each direction in the car (including height!), I'm trying to work out if I'll get my futaba R603FS in it, or if I'll have to swap to spectrum to use a micro one or something?

The camberlinks look like it will hook a lot mid corner looking the length of them compared to the wishbone

Doesn't look too bad to me ..... similar to how I have the links on the ZX5-SP and on my previous three 4wd cars (excluding the BJ4WE) .....

Sorry - Lee is currently unavailable. He is currently worrying to death about if he needs to run drilled or standard Losi pistons in his new ride.......

........please leave you question after the beep.

Or it could be written on the box, like futaba ones are...

With setups, are the team drivers running standard rear toe in, or customizing it to each persons preference using dremels etc?

Yes! A bad mofo!
(Mind you, the aero I drove did steer like a mofo - not necessarily bad)

On a totally unrelated car the front camber links seem to be mounted not on the kingpin, but on that other hole in the castor block: http://gallerie.automodelisme.com/di...bum=137&pos=37 Seems more reasonable, doesn't it?
