They are quite rigid....and you have ti heat up the A-arm before you put the 6.8mm ball into them or they will crack 100%

Hey Ko, since your sending homeboy stuff , ya might as well order a Reedy Race DVD from Izzyracer and ship it so that he can see RBF in action as well
Oh yeah, it says:
I think that's either Steve's or John's Cuda in the pick.
The Evo thread's kinda slow lately so I've been trolling here

What are the Hard suspension peices made of? Carbon or some other space age material.
I can understand the use for a more ridged suspension, but some of us are still learning the car so we still cut the corners alittle to short and hit a board or pipe

Just use a hair dyer... that should do the trick...
also if you want to tighten the 6.8mm balls you can hyst flip them over and add a 1mm shim under the ball head to make adjusting them more user friendly

So that's why your balls were upside in that picture.
Why don't you guys tap the hole in the arm first?

I just finished rebuilding my car and prepping it for Hitec. Got a new body painted up (white and silver, rather than dark blue and black like the body I have been running, easier on the eyes) And going to mount a few sets of tires for Hitec tomorrow. The Alfa 2.0 body looks like it will be loaded with traction, which should be a good thing 
Gonna see if I can get some decals made tomorrow.
I ran the PAL system at SoCal yesterday, but couldn't get the drivetrain free with it. So I switched back to the stock drivetrain, hopefully this Robinson machined gear will hold up

The car was actually quieter with the PAL system than it was without, which surprized me. I havent tried the shim trick yet, my car seems pretty quiet as it is. There is about .5mm fore and aft play on the shaft (1 thin orange O-Ring on either side) And the drive cups slid right into the bevel gears.
I can't figure it out, because everything seems fine.
