Just got a brand new earthquake 8E for URCHobby. Love it!! I am going to ask a stupid question. I am new to this rc stuff. Is the 2 front tires supposed to be toed out? If I line up the front right with the read right then the left front is pointed out. Is this correct or do I need to adjust the toe? Please help. Remember I am a newbie!! Be kind! Mark

In theory, if ya toe the front wheels"OUT" it'll turn better but may wander a little in a straight line. If ya toe the fronts "IN" it'll be more stable at high speed, but not turn as well.. As said above, most run some toe OUT in the fronts.. If it's already toed out a little, just use the trim until it drives straight, that should put equal amounts of toe on each wheel.. Most also run a little toe "IN" on the rears..

I love this thing! I went thru both sets of Batteries today. I will be needing a new body soon!!! It is fast and fun. I really really really need to find a charger that will charge two 2S lipos at once! Anyone suggest a good fast charger that will do 2 at once?? Mark

I have more fun with the buggy tires on mine. I finally found a good stretch I could run the earthquake wide open with the monster truck tires still on and the tires were still balooned out so bad at full speed you better not even think of turning it. To me that is not fun. With the buggy tires on the control is precise and quick just a personal preferrence though.
