[quote="Chewbacca"]The part number for those mounts is: Traxxas TRA2798A a-main has them for 2 bucks plus shipping. Of course the extra holes in the tranny case become necessary. new holes in the chassis amended as well, but I guess you have those already. a little more for the cheapest so...

im just getting the rpm trans case as well, not going to dremel the arm mounts off because i dont trust me, my dremel, and the cutting disks to not screw up so i will just ret the rpm trans case and be done with messy toe and squat angles. that should be here by the end of the month SHOULD be here, ...

J_T_R_G, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly apologize for taking a dump on/in your thread. I am a detail oriented guy, and in my attempt to ensure accurate information sharing, I came across as a complete Ballchinian (one who may occasionally have metaphorical balls on their chin). Y...

what i would do is get a longer bottom shock screw, and put spacers on it to make it vertical. it would be just as strong as if there were no spacers... Thanks for your suggestion but that would make things worse: I have the shocks on the front of the arms and they are leaning back because the shoc...

well..... it was far from perfect but not as bad as you would think. it had a slight lack of rear grip (bald rear tires + cold tarmac) a TON of steering, but i did notice the positive squat angles that i was warned of. but this is a proof of consept in my eyes, it works, its just as durable as a sto...

also, battery on charge now as the rain has stopped. we will see if this handles like dog s*** or not!

Probably a good idea to get the right again too. woops missed a word : I meant to write: " Probably a good idea to get the right anti-squat again too." By the way I was toying with another mid-motored traxxas not long ago and moved the shocktower right over the center of the diff. Unfortu...

Maybe a different hub carrier with more negative toe would help? I've never seen a hub carrier that would compensate for 6 degrees (from 3 positive to 3 negative). Regardless, the squat angle would still be a major issue. it does not have 3 degrees of toe any more, it has closer to one degree. but ...

with zero toe or toe-out on the rear, I imagine the rear end will be rather twitchy and hard to get it to track straight. a stock bandit has miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles and miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles of understeer. id take a twitchy band...

trx 1-3 please refrain from telling me what i do and dont know. I understand your frustration, but Mark is correct. You should just take it as constructive criticism because these guys know what they're talking about and are only trying to help you with your build. I will also add that the trans ca...

i may well get the rpm trans case at some point, but i want to know what i'm working with before i do. it has been rainin 24/7 here in the sunshine state (irony much?) so i havent gotten a hope of running her yet

trx 1-3 please refrain from telling me what i do and dont know.

If what the guys are suggesting is true, the problem isn't in the arms, it's in the gearbox. Even arms with zero toe-in will have toe-out when installed on a gearbox that normally adds toe-in, but is installed in reverse. You'd actually need arms that are toed-out just to get zero toe with a revers...

as to all of this about toe the rpm arms dont add toe so i just got them
