you can cut back the steering throw a little bit and it will eliminate some of it , usually does it on full lock.

Default Rear lower outer hinge pins

Any ideas on how to properly secure these rear lower outer hinge pins ?



What I don't like about ready assembled kit is the fact that most set screws are too tightened and loose there effectiveness. My kit is brand new (E4 FS-C1) and I have this problem.

A captured type hinge pin would be nice if it exist !

what i did on mine i took a small drill bit and drilled a little bit on the hinge pin for the set screw to fit in to prevent it from moving.

Default Binding up front on steering.

Got on my electronics installed and BL motor. With car on bench and power only at 25% whne I turn the front wheels over 40% of maximum throw I start getting a binding (hard vibration) up front. This happens only with the wheels installed . If I take one wheel off (either side) the sound and hard binding goes away.

Up front I have a locked oneway or spool (pin and insert in oneway).

I have the new E4 FSC1 version from Wolf Hobbies.

Anyone had this problem ?

Thanks, doug lemmons, i´m interesting in the changes, i like to testing, and i have some ideas and changes from the setup.

Greetings, Luis C.

Would that be the rib of the rubber tire rim rubbing the lower A-arm or anything of the suspension..? Looks like it must be something between the inside of the rim and the suspension IF there are no problem with THAT side of the tire is off.

Maybe, need more coffee tonite and time to continue checking. It's pretty noisy and jerky. I am thinking something about the CVD's maybe.
