So I just put toghether my XLR8 and took it to my local track (indoor carpet) with in 10 feet of driving the car to just straighten out the steering I tapped the wall and broke the Losi spindle carrier that you guys recomend for this kit (LOSA9762). I went in bought a new kit and with in what amounted to about 2 laps broke 3 more. Now I am not a great driver, I am fairly new to RC but I know this shouldn't happen when I tap the wall. None of the crashes were bad or anything that I don't see experianced drivers doing at my track. Have you had this problem before? What do you recomend I do. At this point I am ready to put the car on shelf or ebay it. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Hey Ron,
I know we already talked via email, but I am going to list some info for anyone else who might end up with this issue.
When you first assemble your kit and for the first couple runs add a little lube on the steering rack bushings. This will help them break in, after a couple runs you should be good to go. We have also used powdered graphite to keep the rack nice and smooth, its a dry lube.
Make sure you dont overtighten the two nuts that hold the rack on, we usually tighten them till it binds and then loosen them untill the rack is nice and free and slides well from side to side without binding.
Some guys like to use brass washers on the top, some have used the small red oil washers that come from inside of a motor. These will allow the rack to slide a little more free.
Remember to always use a "servo saver" on your servo!! This will make sure you do not hurt the servo incase of malfunction or hard hit.
Some guys have mounted a TC3 rack using their rack posts and bearings, you will need to modify the rack a bit. I cannot remember exactly what the mod is but I will look into it and post it on here later.
