Adjusting Tire Alignment

[QuesoHombre]

Hello. Would anyone happen to know how I can adjust the alignment of one of my wheels? I've done some searching and everything I've found says to adjust the screw on the arm, but mine doesn't have one.

Tie rods look to be adjustable from here.

Forgive my ignorance, but which part is the tie rod.

 

[Metalhead Matt]

The links that attach the steering knuckles to the bell crank.

Are you talking about the circled portion? If so, they are not adjustable. There is that larger section in the middle, but it's just a solid piece of plastic.

 

[Metalhead Matt]

Yes sir, the circled part. Man, I can't believe they aren't adjustable. You'll have to get some adjustable turnbuckles and replace those. Cost ya a couple bucks. That thing won't be very much fun to drive like that.

While you're at it, get rid of those AA batteries and buy a 6v hump pack.

+1000! And a fail safe.

Any chance you could provide a link to a decent one? I'd have no idea where to start.

Ebay my friend or Rc Planet, A Main Hobbies or Tower Hobbies. Those are some good places to look.

Thanks. Is there as special connection that I'm going to need? I just bought this tramsmitter: http://www.nitrorcx.com/79p-gt3b-carradio-lcd.html?gclid=CM2P0fCwgq0CFRJthwod4zoPKw

Also, on the tie rods, are they universal as long as I find one about the length that I need?

The ball joint will have to be the right diameter so your existing screws fit em tight. You want zero slop in these connections.

I'm hoping that these are adjustable. They look like it.
