I am building the FS2 at the moment and just finished bolting the steering rack assembly to the chassis and it looks like it is binding? I checked the bearings and there is no binding anywhere on the steering rack itself. I checked the parts and I included all shims and washers. (I'm at step 10 at this point)
It seems to be binding just because the steering "posts" are rubbing against the chassis. Am I missing something or is there something in the future steps that allow me to unbind the rack? Whatever it is, something doesn't seem right.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The washers are extremely thin too. I couldn't believe that such a tiny part prevented such heavy binding.

Tech Adept
the FS2 rear suspension is worth the upgrade. I would surely get the bigbores as well there crazy good!! The FS2 is such an amazing 4 wheel you cant go wrong with keeping it up to date!!
I dont know man ill look at mine when I get home and try nad figure out what the deal is. Are you positive its the steering rack and not the spindles binding or a bad servo? I assume you have disconnected the turnbuckles and servo to check for the bind in those components already??

If it binds at full lock, then you need to trim the ball cups where they hit the diff cases.

I know where that motor mount os from, but where did you find the red shock adjusters for the Big Bores? I know they make all of the red parts for the standard velvets, but not the Big Bores.

Guys,
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a difference between this blue motor mount and the red one. Will the Red one work on my FS 2?

and this red one?

With those initial measurements annotated in that link to new FS2, it may equate to being 10mm shorter in length and 2mm shorter in wheelbase than our current kit platform. Everything else looks to be the same for technical specifications. Look forward to seeing what will be needed to convert current to the new platform.
