You need to fix your rear lockouts, you didn't trim off some material from the rod ends.

That Tekin pretty nice?

I did cut of any. I was a little nervous. How much did you need to cut and what do I cut them with. ( That is why my rear wheels toe in so much. )

The manual shows you.. I believe it is 2mm per side. Go slow, cut once measure twice, you will be fine!

I used my mill to trim my links but you could also use a razor saw with a fine blade. X-Acto makes a great little saw for such purposes.

I used a pair of side cutters. Don't sweat this too much, just snap them off!

Page 13 shows a 1:1 image of the piece and how much to cut off. Set your end on the picture and you can see how much you need to cut off.
