hi guys, just wondering if anybody had the same problem. i built my exotek for the 416 yesterday. i have the one with the steel battery holders. anyway, the steel brackets and the upper carbon thingy to hold the battery tape are too high so that the steering cant move properly. i had to reduce the overall steering from 115EPA to 85 epa on my m11x so that the steering wont puch against the steel brackets. very strange design i must say.
has anyone sorted this thing out besides going to the other more rear battery position. i dont like to to that because a moved back battery in my mind reduces steering ?!
has anyone had this issues with the carbon battery holders in the exotek?

Hi guys,
I just completed my 416x build and had a quick setup question. I'm setting up my ride height and noticed that only on the front the shock collars are not even left to right. My car is balanced left to right and from what I can tell everything is built according to the manual. My concern is that the spring rate will be off as the driver side spring is compressed slightly more then the passenger side.

I do not have this issue with my TB Evo 5 MS. All 4 suspension have an even amount of spring compression to achieve the desired ride height. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.

Can you notch out the steel battery holder with a dremel cutting disk to allow the needed clearance for the steering post / rack... etc ?
I have an Exotek 416XL, I noticed this problem too...but in the end I just move the batts to the rear position (same as 416X). Maybe if I use the optional carbon batt holder then I can use the forward position without any issue. Also, you can't use the most inner batt position coz the same problem will occur with the front 'L' shape weight touching the steering post.

This look like quite a substantial amount! Check that the lower spring retainer is seated correctly over the bottom ball cup. Also check the car for tweak and check the springs are the same length. i assuma you have the car fully loaded with electronics? Check you dont have the droop screws cranked down unevenly
