The most important thing I did was shoo-goo and drywall tape the spots on both sides of the cockpit below the windshield that come already super thin and cracked out of the box.

Has anyone else had issues with the 3mm set screws stripping? Both of mine on the rear axle did. Also appeared to be short two 3 mm lock nuts. Should I expect some spare parts and screws? Not the best kit I have put together, hope it drives well
#783
Chris how did you strip those 3mm set screws? Did you over tighten? I have extra 3mm nuts if you need them. See you next Sunday.
#784
Now I just need to get the nose down 4 mm to 5mm ride height it is currently at 9. Back ride height is at 5.
I won't be there this Sunday, but will be there the following when many are at the TAMIYA race. I will also be at the doughnut race.

Got it together, and was super glad to see the body had the mounting holes premarked.
Does any one use foam on the front bumper to save the chassis some?

so after a recent trip to my local hobby store that advertized they had two carpet tracks .............. ( i took a 4 year hiatus from the hobby been doing this for almost 20 years now)
there i was sitting in a room with about 20 people at benches with all these blinged out aluminum and carbon fiber cambered out plastic wheeled cars.. that slide around at about 2mph .. and im sitting there thinking to my self like .. " so this is it .. this is cool now"..."wow none of these people know how to drive"
there is no scene .. where i live to my knowledge and i want one of these cars to race with in a class so bad

So my friends and I who do like F1 and other forms of road course racing such as the LeMans cars, end up doing our racing in the spring and summer outdoors at a school parking lot by ourselves, where we can do what we want!

Sorry don't know if this has been asked before . I went back a few pages and didn't see anything .
I an having trouble with my front steering rack the top plate is sitting on the steering link and is not letting it move . I've followed the directions on putting it together. I have the shims it says to put under it but its doesn't seem to sit right.
Thanks Chris (Bodies By Bean)

This area of the car is a bit tedious to adjust, has anyone gotten rid of the bellcrank altogether and Gone straight to the servo? I remember setting up my AE 10L oval car like that.

Curious what others say, but I just built mine and with the 5 degree blocks and the specified shims with the riser piece at at 0 instead of -0.5 like the instructions I found I had to put 2 mm worth of shims under the steering posts. This got the turnbuckles off the top plate and everything moves freely. The steering rack is very close too the top plate, possibly rubbing, but is it is all free so it should be fine.

As far as getting rid of the bellcrank, try it and see how it feels. It shouldn't bee a problem.

Make that 2 ride height shims with -.5 side up and 2mm spacer. Second chassis is now a full roller with servo. I added the optional AL dampers, CF battery brace/side spring perch, AL lower arm mounts, lower POM pivot balls, AL deck posts and steering bridge. I used a Kimbrough Medium servo saver in place of the stock arm. Parts box is now looking kinda.... low.
