assembly manual revision

[Furrman]

I have not tried the change this email suggest, just because a one inch change seems huge. has anybody done this ? my truck seems pretty straight the way it is. what would happen if I shortened those arms?

[House Money]

Furrman, I'm not clear on what you are asking here, could you provide some additional details?

sorry, yesterday I got an email manual revision for the truck. it say's to shorten the lower control arms. the front from 15 5/8" to 14". the rear from 18 5/8" to 17 5/8". I'm confused.

I assume these comments are for the later chassis model, not the early ones? I have an early one, and this must come from FFR changing the frame configuration to be compatible with the 33 hot rod.

I do not get these emails you mention, do these come if you purchase the electronic version of the manual?

I have chassis # 13. this is the first time FFR has sent me anything. I have the electronic manual only. when I ordered the kit they sent me the 33 manual. I guess they didn't have one for the truck in 2018.

I have chassis #15, so we are both have very early cars.
Was the email you received a change in the pdf manual itself, or a personal email to you directly? I know FFR has made a lot of changes to the manual, and we are up to who knows how many revisions, and revisions do not state which chassis they pertain to, but hopefully us early purchasers can still rely on the original information provided. If not, we are in a world of hurt to figure out what is going on.
Can anyone clarify?

The email was a pdf. a revision to the manual. I was not aware that they had a gen 2, so it really confused me. I've gocarted mine and it seems to drive fine.

The email was addresses to All Truck Kit Owners. It ended up in my Gmail "Promotions" folder, so check there and your Spam folder.

I got the same email. I have 33 hot rod #1150, I was just looking at the front suspension and I think I'm keeping mine the way it is. I go carted it in October and it seamed fine. I'll do the final adjustments at the alignment shop.

Does the revision have a mistake in it? In the last section on brake lines it refers to the rear brakes master cylinder as 3/4", I think it's 5/8". At least it was on my hot rod kit.

I don't even own kit yet.

I have however purchased an e-copy of the hot rod manual as part of my "due diligence".

I received the revision via e-mail yesterday.
