Well i was going to do a live nuild but was so excited to get it done that i just finished it and need more pictures and will post them tomarrow . I have a new compressor for my airbrush on the way so i will let you know and post the finished product. This kit was very easy to assemble minus the few idiot errors as i think i don't need instructions lol.

The D8T is a really nice truck that will take adjustments and it allows you to improve.
Watch the shimming on the rear pinion. The manual shows putting two shims behind the pinion. I have went down to one shim since my pinion started to chew on the diff cup and no problems yet.

I'm sure that most of the team members are aware of it so I never mentioned it.

For better steering on the D8T.
Build the front shocks with zero rebound. This means with the spring removed, compress the shock and it should stay compressed.
Build the rear shocks to full rebound. Without the spring, compress the shock and it should rebound.

To get these results, fill the shock body with oil and install the cap. Depending on what the shock does, you will either need to add more oil for more rebound or bleed some oil off to get no rebound.

Build it right and enjoy the results.
