Adjusting Toe Out

[ridgehead44]

Hi All,

I bought a BRRC BLX slider that I've finally built up. It's just about ready for its first run. However I noticed there is some pretty severe toe-in on the rig. Which turnbuckle do I change to fix this, upper or lower? (I think it's lower) I don't have one of those turnbuckle adjusting tools, so should I just use some pliers? Thanks in advance!

Here's the rig below. As you can see, it has some major toe in.

Yes. The steering buckles are what you need to adjust.

Cool. Thank you! I'm having issues getting them to tighten in the right direction. Do they need to go clockwise or counter-clockwise? Is it different for each side?

You spin the middle and they both go in and out.

If they put them on properly at the factory then when you turn them towards the front they will get longer, decrease toe out, when you turn them towards the rear they will get shorter, increase toe out. All rc cars by default are supposed to be setup this way out of the box, even when building a kit the directions tell you to install the camber links and turnbuckles in this orientation. For some reason the Arrma 3s turnbuckles and camber links do not have an indicator on them to distinguish the left hand thread side to the right hand thread side.
