My XTE arrived today Everything looks pretty sweet, I need to go over the instructions etc. At present I have no idea what the bloody white grommets and clips are for in a small little bag and also the black clip 'thingies' ???
Perhaps you can enlighten me, if I cant find out anything from the what seems to be, limited instructions.

The shocks to me feel very soft and very easy to depress, so will have to check the oil out as well.

The buggies wheels might have to be reset, as I'm sure they are not 100% correctly adjusted (I might be wrong!), I will have to do a little more research into how the various cambers and toes affect the overall driving experience.
Did you have to make any adjustments to toe and camber?

After some research I found that the buggy has been set up quite well in fact, although still not sure about the shocks perhaps a little on the soft side. (again I could be entirely wrong! .... it wouldn't be the 1st. time lol )

Out of the box, the rear wheel have negative camber (out at the bottom and closer in on top) with quite a bit of toe tin.
The front wheels on the other hand, are toed out with a little positive camber (Narrower at the bottom of wheel and wider at the top)

Also did you have to calibrate the ESC, or is everything already calibrated? - Thanks!

Also are you using the antennae tube or do you leave the short receiver antenna inside?
