Is this good enough?

I would go just a touch looser if it were me, but that’s pretty close.

Im going to install the fan. How did you do to solve the "problem" on the picture?Yeah, I was when I was running my Kraton with it.
CheckIng temps is easy. Just buy a IR thermometer. You don’t need to spend a lot because +/-5 degrees is fIne. Just point this at the motor and heatsink on the ESC.

Some guys also go by touch. If you cant rest your fingers on it then it’s too hot. But for $10-$15 I think the thermometer is a better way of doing it.
Edit - if you don’t care to spend a little more this style is easier to use because it fits under the body shell easier.

I just pushed it in as far as it would go and left it. It was far enough to hold but not completely snap.
Sounds normal. ESC Fam needs to run constant too. Did you splice into the ESC fan header for the motor fans?
Is it supposed to sound this much? And now the ESC fan aint spins..? Or is the fan turning ON when there is hot enough?
The problem is, this is the way it was from the beginning...Fan should start regardless its hot or not. In the receiver, I see that "somehow" you put throttle cable (the one from ESC) to AUX? probably because the ESC doesn't get proper signal then it's fan won't start (hopefully this is the case). Restore back the cable from esc to THR in the receiver and the one from Servo to the STR, don't ever move those 2, thats how its should be . And put the cables from the fans to the other free ones and see. btw, in mine, I build a Y cable that joins the 2 fans as one and just occupy 1 of the free slot in receiver. Hopefully this would help fix it.
Hmm, I was doing a newbie mistace... The cable was loose, thats why the ESC fan didnt work. (don't say anything)... ?? But I did order a bransch for the JST cables, they are to tight in the receiver. ?Sounds normal. ESC Fam needs to run constant too. Did you splice into the ESC fan header for the motor fans?
That’s the best case scenario ????The problem is, this is the way it was from the beginning...

It’s hard to be 100% sure from a picture without a straight edge as a reference but I would say that looks fine. If you have a straight edge ruler you can place it behind the tower and check for flatness.Hello again friends,
I keep asking some stuff, and I do it in this thread instead of doing new... hope thats OK.
I do think the front tower leaning a little bit backwards, but the tower-tower brace is in good shape. Also everything else it seems to be. I do attach couple of pictures. Maybe hard to see. But if there is some problem, you guys will see it I guess. But...maybe it should leaning little bit backwards, since the front of the chassi(body?) is a little bit higher than the rest of the chassi..?
Is it anything I should fix, or is it normal? ?

Hello there Swedish neighbor (norway here)
Your truck seems fine, but your front right wheel seems to need to be adjusted to point straight forwards?
Personaly i like them to point like this:
Right wheel just slightly to left and left wheel slightly to right so they both point just slightly inwards.
The fronts are supposed to have Toe out (pointing slightly outwards) or parallel/straight if you want to be anti establishment and go against the norm like me. I find I track better with less toe out.
I'm all for experminentation, first I've heard of anyone going toe in on the front though.. What do you feel it brings you?
