I noticed that my CGM car has a lot of play at the inner hinge pin of the a-arms? Has anyone experienced the same?

had the same problem using the aluminium arm mounts on the rayspeed, just added a motor shim on each arm, move freely, no play.

Yeah well I just wanted to be sure, I'd hate to know that whole car will be be graphite then find out the steering rack isn't or some other part. Hey thanks buddy.

Typical clean and simple Masami preparation. Who needs a long list of options?

Do you suppose the green components and the ever-present SSG battery strap were pulled from his previous SD?!!

I think they are all 3mm. I think the main benefit was that rayspeed uses better graphite then the yokomo stuff.

have you guys tried Niki's main driveshaft?
It's very light(7g) and looks great.

I got them by mistake as Niki was supposed to send me driveshafts-aka CVD bones(or at least that's what i thought was supposed to be)

Oh well.

Try driving round things instead of into them

We hav had this conversation about SD parts and its now boring.
They arent fragile
