use these
https://www.teknorc.com/shop/tkr5569...ed-wpins-2pcs/
https://www.teknorc.com/shop/tkr5580...ed-steel-2pcs/
You can also use these but you have to drill out the center bore to fit

The easiest way is to look at the bottom of the a arms. The bottom of the arms on the .3 are smooth, where as the .1 are not.

Hey guys,

Is there a way to run the shocks on the front of the rear tower for high bite clay?

Howdy, I've spent the last few hours trawling through this thread but couldn't find a real answer to my question... just finished building my 410.3 kit and the thing I noticed was that the front control arms had a decent amount of forward and backwards play... meaning they could slide on the hinge pins, maybe the distance of the thickness of two pennies. I had two extra plastic circular washers from building the shocks so I threw them in front of the arms since they happen to fit perfectly on the hinge pins. This has got rid of my slack but it also moves the arms back a hair. I guess what I'm asking is this a normal condition for this kit? My back end control arms by comparison are nice and tight. I've taken the front end apart a couple times thinking maybe I didn't have it together right but all seems good. I appreciate any assistance!

This doesn't help you, but I noticed the same thing on a newer roller I just picked up. My 2 to 3 year older model has hardly any play from the front arms, between the a and b hinges. It's either the arms, or the gearbox causing it.

Well I'm kind of glad someone else noticed it. Im only concerned because in the instructions it states how drasticly the handling is altered by the movement of the arms and drive shaft... And being that it has that amount of play it got me wondering. It will be a bit before I can run the truck anyways to see how it does... Might have to mess with different thickness spacers on either side of the arms hinge pins in between the a and b blocks. Right now I just have spacers behind the a block.

seams to me I would run long base for big sweeping tracks,... short for tight small track. its nice to have that adjustment if your technical ...and the arms should have a tiny bit of looseness. not slop JMO go race it

I've been away from rc for a while so trying to catch up. I had several people at the hobby shop talking about how good this truck was and that it was virtually impossible to break. I was wondering how much truth there is to this. I was also wondering how well they compete with the losi 3.0 on the track.

Anything can break but this truck is as tough as they get. I have gone through front spindles from slamming into the wall in a sweeper. They break at the base of the steering arm. Yes it was bone head driving I know. Also the axle stubs get hogged out where the pins go through, and the pins get thin at the ends. This is all consumable stuff to me. The worse part is how fast the bodies get beat to hell. It’s way tougher than anything out there especially the Losi.

Is everybody using an steering servo extension or is there a specific servo that you're using? I don't like the idea of having a extension lead. And is anybody running the bittydesign black hawk body? I know their buggy bodies are thin so I was curious if this is as thin?

No extension needed. Protek 130 is what I use and has taken a serious beating for lap after lap. What do you think Celt?

I just finished my new kit. I did upgrade all four a,b,c,d. hinges to aluminum I have barely any room/play.

Anybody have an excess of left hand side steering spindles TKR5541B they want to trade for right hand? Even up, no money involved. Sick of buying the pair and only using one. I think I have a half dozen RH.
