AM ok for break-in?

[jaysyourhandyman]

Well, I overbought hopups BEFORE I got my radio (in fact BEFORE I got my truck), so I was wondering if I can break-in the truck in the fenced-in back yard with my cheesy AM Futaba?

i have used an AM radio futaba in this truck from day 1


i got my truck in August


just make sure to set your fail safe


just run it rich in oil for the first tank

dude, im sorry.. i thought you were refering to helya's rear tow-in AFTER the runaway. lmao.. so ya, it isnt adjustable, tho it would be nice. you "want" rear tow in. not so much on a 4wd, but it will help track straight under hard throttle. i set-up 1 degree front tow in, and 2 degree neg. camber all the way around. and yes, i did measure, but not the way you did. i used modded polycarbinate hub holders and put it on my 5th scale on-road set-up table. gives you perfect numbers all the way around. no guessing..

Ouch, now I feel like an azz.....I knew you were a standup guy! And as far as Hellya, if that was "the radio" in the pic it would look alot worse than the truck after the runaway. Thanks for your clarification.

Just ran her with the AM (far far into the woods) riding in the snowmobile tracks. She goes right along just stock. I little hairy when she gets on the pipe on such a narrow trail though. I avoided alot of issues by heeding most of everyone's advice. Just a perfect maiden voyage with a nice little (?) rig. Thanks
