Put plastic shim (or you can cut half not used servo mount plastic offset) between them. Heatshrink the antenna wire, especially in the area around the hole where the wire slip through the upperdeck.

Try using thin fuel tube.
Drill out the hole in the upper deck.
Feed the antenna through the fuel tube and place the fuel tube into the hole in the upper deck.
The antenna tube will fit nice and snug inside the fuel tube.

Did the trick for me.

I always put shrink tube anywhere that any wiring touches the carbon just to make sure there will be no shorts in the wiring anywhere.

i find the difference std rear hubs and quick release hubs.

the offset is different.. front and rear all!!

when width setup was same (front 197mm/rear 199mm)

quick release hubs make more understeer in corner-in...

and rear was uneasy in corner-out.

this is only my subjective feel.. (it maybe false)


so i will test tommorrow after some change.

front hub will be changed by Std hub.

rear hub will be used by quick release hubs.

But.. i will change rear wheel hub what is narrower than stock wheel hub(NT1's wheel hub).

then i quess offset will be same with Std hubs.

Well I went ahead and ordered my parts from rc-mushroom. Man do they have a lot of G4 stuff!

To top it off, even with the ems shipping, it will be cheaper than if I had been able to buy the parts from Trinity.

So all I can do now is hope that rc-mushroom is quality. I've never ordered from them before, so <fingers crossed> everything will go well.

You really should check out Raceday Hobbies. Sam has every part in stock and ships out same or next day. And the best part is that he posts on this forum regularly under the name G4S'er. Check out his shop at http://www.racedayhobbies.com

I get everything shipped to Canada very quickly and he is also just a phone call away if you ever have any questions.

Yeah, I know Raceday hobbies. Thats where I originally bought my car from, then I later bought my upgrade kit from him. But he doesn't have the rear arms in, only the steering blocks.

Believe me, I would have loved to get them from Raceday, but I can't buy what they don't have.
