1. think about your design and draw it on the body
2. Use liquid mask
3. learn how to cut straight " not crooked, " lines
4. learn to lay down darker colors first
5. master the art of shadowing
6. use materials from everyday life to create cool effects , Checkered Cabinet liners make great carbon fiber effects
Ok back to a relivant topic
Has anyone had problems with their ball links being super tight?
I was plagued last weekend throughout qualifying by traction rolling, turned out that my rear tie rods and ball ends were super tight and wouldn't let my suspension rebound properly.
Because of that I ended up "BQ", I fixed the problem and bumped up to the A, but I loosened my links too much, and one popped off half way through. I managed to get it back on and still finished 5th.
I'm going to buy some new ends tonight and replace all my old ones, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I seem to have the opposite issue...mine ball ends wear out very fast (or I break them). They are the only things I have broken in about 4 gallons of track time (aside from bearing wear...the bearings in the hubs are wearing and I am getting quite a bit of slop)

Clutch hardware O-ring
Does anyone know what the thin white o-ring that comes in the parts bag with the clutch hardware is for? I've search this thread and didn't find anything. Looked in both the 8B & 8T manuals and didn't see it.
Thanks,
