tc3 non-semetrical toe-in

[ohbarry31]

i just got a tc3 .. the car works VERY well except that my left rear wheel/tire is toed-in more than the right .. i believe this is causing my rear end to push to the right when i accelerate .. this is something that i cannot adjust except by buying either new arms or arm mounts, any comments? .. will associated replace these for me at no cost? .. just curious if this has happened to anyone else .. thanks

Yeah, that's likely due to a defect in the rear hub carriers, the hinge pin holes are a bit off right to left, so it throws off the rear toe-in. If you send the hub carriers in to Associated, they will send some proper ones to you(if you need additional info, just check with AE's website on the TC3 Message board)..... http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

Is the TC3 new?? If it is, there should not be a problem, make sure you measure the toe-in, sometimes it is an optical illision!!!

yeah, a while back ago, AE caught a flaw in the rear hub carriers that made one side have more toe in. They said if you send them the bad parts, they will give you a new set free.
