Default Tie rod length

I may have answered my own question, but I thought I would run it by you more experienced guys first. When you set up your tie rods for toe, the front steering two should be the exact same length and your rear two should be the exact same length right? Then adjust your steering trim to straighten up your front wheels right? The reason I ask is that my two fronts are different lengths from out of the box and I noticed in the manual they are supposed to be the same.

Any help?

You got it...
Make sure that your servo horn and steering trim is centered first though.
What I do is is take the horn off the servo and power on the TX & RX. I then center the so it's at 90* and then put the horn back on.... Only then do I adjust turnbuckles.
