Granite Replaced Granite Arms with Typhoon RPM and composite links. Alignment all messed up.

[zbeckwith00]

I replaced my Granite stock arms with Typhoon arms. I ordered a set of the typhoon composite links. Installed last night and my back tires are pointing IN pretty badly and the front tires are both pointing OUT pretty badly. What couuld I have done wrong? Sorry for no pictures, I am at work.

You might have too much camber in the rear but its expected because you don't have the adjustable links anymore

Other than change your suspension components..
Nothing really.


You just need to re-adjust your steering linkages in the front to get your toe back in line.

and check your camber

Unfortunately with the fixed links you can't adjust the toe or camber. But the rears pointing in and the fronts pointing out is how all the mega line cars are setup.

I noticed that with the fixed links on the Granite as well, the truck handles fine though. When you are able post up a picture.

Okay.
He could get some Typhon 3S tie rods & turnbuckles..

Or, anything similar to accommodate the length of the new suspension components.

Ill send one in a few hours, mine are bad enough that I cant imagine it will drive at all.

It would be most advised to Not drive until suspension geometry has been properly set.. Or you risk wearing out your servo and tires prematurely..

Did you order the right long links for the typhon? Do you have them on the right arms? Here’s the exploded view for the mega typhon that has composite links. You can cross reference part numbers on horizons web site to make sure.

This should help you set the right toe link length in case they are off. I got this from PhillyB_RC page.
