Your truck will come with a set of metric allen wrenchs. I'd suggest you rummage around the house for all those little tools you never use, start collecting screw drivers metric wrenchs etc. A good tool to invest in if you don't have one already is a dremel, very handy for cutting slots in those screws that won't come out, at times the factory goes overboard with loctite, in it seems all the wrong places lol!

Actually You sold it to me


What are the sizes on it for allen wrenches and nuts and bolts?


4,5,6 mm? So I can go pick up some nice tools for it


I know what you mean about locktite lol....my trex 600 nitro was loaded all over the place....Heat gun works wonders if its aluminum


I was gonna email you to ask you a few more questions but might as well ask em here,


So the mix is 25 to 1 right? 25 liters gaz to 1 liter of oil?


What's the best fuel for it? sunoco 94? or ethanol?...i also have access to 100LL aviation fuel too


as for setting up the dx3;


is there a setting for digital servo and regular servo? and what kind are they on the truck itself?


As for setting up the servos with the radio,do I just adjust the end points on the radio,servo reversing?


Thanks again for getting it in the mail that fast!!

allens range from 1.5 thru 5mm, and yup it's 25:1. Some guys go a bit leaner with their mix but I'm not going to tell you to lol! I don't think the spectrum has a digital only side to it, my Futaba does. Maybe someone can chime in and let volitan know for sure. The radio will come with instructions anyways and it has epa adjustments. The truck has analog servos.

Nice thing about Spektrum over Futaba is that you can run analog and digital.
