Another issue has arisen with my chassis - Kyosho Plasma Ra.

The left front tire always lifts off first... I cant for the life of me figure out what the hell is going on. I double checked, triple checked to make sure the rear pod isn't tweaked, chassis isn't tweaked, tweak springs are set properly. The chassis was balanced correctly using the balance pin method. Springs were checked to make sure they have equal lengths. Everything is bind free and is working as it should.

However, in order to achieve a balanced chassis I need to add a TONNE of weight to the one side to compensate for the tweak. Also, I had two shims for preload.

All that was done and more some and the F@#$ thing is still tweaked... Now I have heard the front bulkheads are made of softer aluminum material. Not to sure if this is true or not. I can't remember any substantial impacts that would result in a damaged front end.

Need some help before I scrap this machine.
