They are not reinforced, they also are a smaller diameter. And I don't think they have as much grip.

my car will steer to a side..is it due to the suspension slop
or the stock servo saver is causing the problem?

it is not so simple, if allways steers to the same side is te radio trim , if it steers only in some situations you have to tell us

Steering blocks for the original TL01 and Mini are identical. Newer Suzuki blocks are different and (I think) unique to that model. Do not believe that TA03 blocks fit properly.

What's the dealio with the TA03 ball diff?
I built it according to the (hot tips) and adjusted it all the way tight then backed off. It slips on throttle maybe more than I like.
I am racing on a high grip track so accerlation is important.

How tight should they be? I noticed after taking it apart again that one of the larger cone washers is flat. Should I shim it tighter with some flat shims. I don't want to buy a rebuild kit because it will probably just happen again.

Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks

I run mine tight all the way, then back off about 1/8th turn at most. It is a pain if they loosen up, taking the front chassis all apart. I normally run on high grip carpet, but use the same setup at Tamiya CA track

put a little thread lock on the screw that way it won't come loose.

Deves · 09-01-2006, 08:43 PM

Thanks guys for your input but I have tried both it still seems loose to me.
