T-Maxx Toe Out Problems......Help

[Mad Katz]

I have a huge problem with my T-Maxx. the wheels a a little toed in while it is just sitting, but when I push down on it to compress the shocks the wheels toe out horible (I talking they point in complete oppsite directions). What could be or is causing this?

There doesn't seem to be any broken or bent parts. Any help would be greatly apperciated..

Thanks

I believe your issue is caused by the turn buckles being mounted wrong (From the top or Bottom) of ether the inside, outside or both.

Take a look at how they are mounted then look at some closeup photos in the gallery to see if they are the same. I forgot how they are supposed to be mounted.

ya if the turnbuckles are not parralel with the lower arms then it will do that. if you ever had to change the bellcranks or steering knuckles you might have put it back together wrong. just try and make them ass parralell as possible

The turnbuckles mount below the knuckle.

Thanks for the help..

It was a simple mistake...yet caused a huge problem. I had the tie rods hooked up wrong...I had one end on the top of the steering arm and the other end on top of the turnbuckle. I have to have one on the top and the other on the bottom otherwise it will bind the tie rod and cause a massive toe out when compressed.:clap:
