I'm having an issue where my servo gets locked after a small hit while turning through a corner. Anyone else have this issue?

rarely but I do. they don't have any limiter there. if you allow too much steering throw this will happen occasionally.
can you show me how your front end is?

I'm thinking of adding limiters. but I will play with the steering too as well to see if I can eliminate it

I did. I drilled holes on the lower front beam (U8140) and bought extra chassis posts (U7938) as limiters.

I'm confused why the issue doesn't happen with my E3.

I agree. My friend that runs a E3 doesn’t have this issue either.

Krazed Builds has released new high quality Carbon Fiber front base plates that shorten the wheelbase from 200mm to 195mm for med/high grip carpet and a new 1/2 degree camber strap. Nice tuning pieces that aren't available elsewhere.

What's a good source for Al/Ti screws in the US? I can't find a source for both.

I switched over to the cf chassis to race 17.5 and GT12 at my local club. The car became more responsive on throttle and carried quite a bit more speed in the corners. I was able to set the fastest laps of our current layout as well. Overall a very positive change.

It won't fit, makes the car too wide.

I just switched mine to the CF chassis.. hoping to get it out on the track this week see how it differs from the aluminum.

I'm the only schumacher at my track, does anyone have a base setup for high bite carpet?
