Does anyone have problems with the kingpin rubbing on the wheel?
It was suggested for me to run a 12 scale kingpin.
Thinking that the 1/12th kingpin worked great for WGT carpet; but, not for WGT-R/T where you need more suspension travel with rubber tires. Could be wrong; but, that is my logic.
Are you using the new style (fixed 1/8" axle) or old style (adjustable 5/16" leading/trailing axle) steering blocks? The R/T kit comes with the new ones. I have one car with each style of steering block for testing purposes.
With the new style #3221 steering blocks that came in the R/T kit build it per the manual. One of my cars is this way.
With the old style #3251 adjustable steering blocks, place the axles in the leading position to achieve more clearance at the kingpins. Then, run the short wheelbase configuration to not make the wheelbase too long overall. My other car is this way.
