Exotek F1R
#812
I'm in the process of building mine right now ( F1RCLab.com has them in stock if anyone is looking ) what would you guys recommend for springs and oil/grease as a starting point for a car that will be running mostly on tight carpet tracks and using pardus wheels and tires ?

Quick question. . I am putting together the exotek front end and the Tamiya coated balls are very tight in the upper arms ( knuckle side arms). This can't be right. . It's definitely going to bind. Do I need to be using a different ball or ream the hole out?

body mounting
I noticed the chassis plate is wider than the Tamiya bodies towards the front third and would need to sit on top of the plate.
I assume this is as intended, or am I missing something?
Also, are you to use the metal upper pivots in the delrin arms for the Exotek adjustable arm set? There are pretty tight.

Yep. The body sits on top of the chassis at the front. Just trim the bottom of the body slightly so it still sits at the same height.
I'll check the inserts and get back to you.

Something is up with the arms.
The plastic balls are no better...still way too tight.
I have current email communication with Mike on the issue (he is looking into it).
I went as far as sanding down a brand new set of coated Tamiya balls..only to destroy them by the time I was able to get them to fit in the arm (they ended up flat sided).
