toe in?

[heavyarms642]

i think its called toe in, when the tire is turned on the car a way it isnt supposed to be, and the tire on the other side is fine. anyway, i bought a tmaxx today and i got it out of the box, back left tire is pointing outwards. im not sure how to fix this, i took all the tires off and glued the tires to the rims, hoping that the wheel could have just been on a little sideways. no good. i want to start the break in but in reading my manual it says hobby shops cannot take back the tmaxx if it has been run. so basically, im wondering if there is something i can do to fix this or should i take it back tomorrow and exchange it for another one.

All you have to do is adjust the turnbuckle a little.

That's the silver rod that runs parallel to the suspension arm.

Or you could take it back to the hobby shop and see if they will help you. Most will try to help and make you happy with your new truck.

ok, now i know where to adjust it, but how? does anyone know of any demonstrated ways to do this on any site, or is it simple? the situation with the wheel is: looking from the top of the truck the back left wheel is pointing outward towards the front.

There should be a spot on the turnbuckle where a wrench can be attached. Just take the little wrench that came with the truck and try turning the turnbuckle both ways and see how the tire moves. It moves very slowly, so you may have to do a few turns to notice the difference. Then adjust it until it is straight.:)

You could take it off and make the shorter one match the longer one.

thanks destroyer. i also posted something about the tranny not going into gear, i found out that the idle was too high, just turned the idle down a bit and went right along. break in is boring! haha. i know i know, its worth it in the long run. thats why im doing it...........-ugh-
