You May can use 3x12mm also. All the screws on your tmaxx are all 3mm threads they just vary in length.

Can you align the wheels without a camber guage? Can i make one? Looking for the cheapest way
To adjust toe and camber.

 

[Zdragon71]

I just use a tape measure for toe and a carpenters angle for camber. Mostly i just eyeball it honestly.

Unless your a professional racer you really dont need to be petty with fine tuning of camber. As long as your rig will go in a straight line when you let the wheel go then your fine. Just my opinion.

Thanks. I'm getting "tail wag" slightly at high speeds. Has to be slowing me down.I just want to get the best
performance i can.

Sounds like you may need to rebuild the rear next.

 

[ksrichard]

Definatly want RPM in rear as well. Just waiting till i bust factory arms.

 

[Zdragon71]

There is a chance you will never bust the factory's. just build up you funds and upgrade them anyways. I love my tru tracks.

 

[ksrichard]

Sweet. You are a great help.. Thanks. Time to make some noise with rebuilt rig.

Went to a construction site, great place to do some bashing. Seems rebuild good. Took
Both tmaxx's. RPM arms really take abuse. The one is still getting hot. Hafta take out motor
And get it to the shop. The other cooled by a good tune. Little rich, its spitting fuel out exhust.
Ill lean a little. Anyway this time nothing broke!!!! Lotta fun
