I was noticing how a friends was really loose in the front while mine was much tighter. A few races later, and mine is as loose as his. All the parts are there. The slop is mostly in the Ackerman, a little bit in each mount and it all adds up. I don't know if there is much one can do about it other than replace all the linkage parts together.

There's a lot of slop at that point. Someone should really make an aftermarket ball bearing supported Ackerman arm. I have the 1.0 with the original rod ends and balls and they slop out after a few runs. I ended up replacing mine with something different. I still have the slop in the Ackerman arm and the hinge pins and such in the front end. Slop isn't necessarily bad but the amount I saw in the 1.0 was pretty ridiculous compared to the other vehicles I have owned. No need to beat this guy up for wanting his truck to be as good as possible.

B - check the pivot balls in the ball ends. I've run my truck hard since it came out in March and its only about ready for new pivot balls. I will only replace these when the ball is so worn it will not stay in the plastic rod end.

A - loose is fast. In general these trucks get better with some slop. I wouldn't worry about it.

Casper or Ryan, what part number do I need? These will not work. The ones that came with the truck were a lot better when first assembled. The balls are not bad because some are still ok in the old plastic rodends.
Thanks

It's funny you bring that up. I was just changing the rodends on my truck just now. I used the old balls and just replaced the plastic (#LOSB4023 I think) and there is twice as much slop in it now than there was with the old ones.

You want to use these as they last a lot longer then the SCTE 1.0 stock balls did.

I totally understand but the old hard anodized balls fit tighter in the old plastic rod ends then the new plastic rodends.

Edit - I meant the upgrade hard ano balls are the same
No?
