Fully tightened the steering won't move and slackened off you induce play. I've eventually got the screws slackened off and threadlocked, but its a poor design. Has anyone come up with a resolve for this ? My other TT01 has the plastic hubs and at least slackened off the screws don't move.

My TA05 MS in comparison is so much smoother and theres no messing with loosening off screws to get optimum movement.
Martin,

I have 3Racing aluminium uprights and Square-rc Flourine coated delrin pivot balls. It's better, but has updown freeplay in the arms. The arms wear.

My next action will be to try the 3Racing upper arms, castor and made of delrin. I'll let you know.

What pivot balls are you using?
