this is the rear arm mount system with adjustable toe correct? Yes, you need to drill an access hole in the bottom to allow you to adjust the toe, I believe it's something like two holes closely spaced so the cut is an oval opening right under the adjuster turnbuckle. Not sure if you need other holes to mount back end of the mounts, but it's possible.

Three holes, 2 for the afjust tabs, and one (bigger) for the adjuster.you will need to cut off a piece off the rear motor guard(for graphite) so that the two tabs will not interfere when you screw in the motor guard.i'll try to find the pics when i can and post it here.

Before you drill the holes for the mount tabs, make sure that the link adjuster and the mounts (L/R) are exactly the same lenght so that when you place the holes they will line up and adjust correctly.

i did not made the screw hole for the adjuster coz i opted to adjust it from the inside but needs to remove the motor(yeah i know), it depicts the purpose but hey i also ended up removing em coz i think i will be doing great with a 3' Rpm mounts ..hahahha

Here's a scan I made of the old RRP ad. You can see the Tracker system installed and how the two inner screw holes need to be drilled in the chassis.
