I've only posted in this forum one other time, but it was very helpful to me, so I'm gonna try again.
I crashed my 3.3 Revo the other day, and since I was left replacing a pushrod, I thought I'd do the A-Arms too (which would give me a set for parts anyway). Well I removed the broken pushrod and its match, threw on the new (I don't have the tools for the arms, it turns out) and was left with a rear axle that is way out, almost as bad as it started.
So I'm thinking there must be some kind of gauge tool, or something that I'm missing. I thought it was going to be a direct fit kind of thing. It appears I've broken something out of my skill level to replace so far, haha.
Anyway, I'm going to take a look at it again over the weekend with a friend of mine, and head to a local hobby shop to see what they tell me tonight. I just kind of wondered if anyone else went through the same thing and could give me advise from experience.
The arms look easy enough, just need more tools, which I'll pick up in the meantime.
Thank you.
