I found some up and down slop for the steering bellcranks. Used a spare 5 x 0.1mm shim and added another one on both posts. Same exact bearing size/setup on my TRF418 that I'm currently assembling. Just make sure not to crank down too hard on the top screws, but otherwise, it is almost slop free now. Still a tad bit of a wiggle on the steering bridge though. Overall, both my cars have less steering slop than my X-Ray.

Yep - fixed the up down slop on the bell cranks. I followed some of the tips from SpeedyRC's blog and this was one of them.

Am going to try tackle that wiggle on the bridge and if I get anywhere, will let you guys know!

Edit: I sanded down the backs of the diff internals and my gear diff is silky smooth using #3000 oil!! Read somewhere in the thread about notchy diffs so was pleasantly surprised to find them so smooth.

Does anyone have a link about shock bladder tuning? Not sure what to do with the optional bladders included with the Dynamics kit. I just built with the stock black ones.

I've built 2 of the Dynamics DO6 and they are nice build. I found the bearings in the steering to be the problem causing the slop. There appears to be too much movement between the race and the cage of the bearing.
A nice set of bearings fixed it.

The Asian Onroad Championship Round 3 is held in Melbourne-Australia this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Looking forward to pitting for my son and meeting up with the other VBC drivers, including the team driver Ryan Maker.

I moved over from a Xray T4 to the D06, I have broken one front and one rear arm. The fault was mine, I hit the end of a board on our outdoor track at full speed, I think even the Xray would have broken something. A Hard bumper is a must (I am using one for my old Tamiya 417 that I had) the stock one in the normal D06 kit is mushy. I don't have my dymanics kit yet to see if it is the same bumper. Otherwise the car is strong and fast, it goes through chicanes at speeds I have never been able to do before, I am very happy with VBC.

Ryan actually texted me yesterday about the AOC this weekend. He is getting ready for this weekend and has been trying new things.

Think I found the biggest contributor of slop in the steering system ... My servo! Its a Savox 1252MG and there's a little bit of play. I compared to my old analogue KO servo, which was solid and was a little disappointed. Might go on the hunt for another low profile servo.

He is looking at that servo you put in your awesomatix as well as the cool trinket you have.
