Sorry for all the questions but should I put a small amount of thread lock on the steering knuckle pivot screws?

Are you talking about the M5 kingpin screws? A little blue threadlock is okay as long as you don't get it into the portion of the pin that the steering blocks turn on. Once I got the proper sized driver, though, I never had one come loose, and quit using messy threadlock. Corally makes a nice one in the appropriate size.

all you need is a small drop of thread lock on the threads...that will lock the screws in place but will still offer free movement for the knuckle...

Heard that the new arms are breaking just as easily as the old arms, just in a different place. Sounds like they need to beef up the area around inner hinge pins.

Ok guys, I need a good rubber tire carpet setup.
Rules
GT body, Viper, Vette ECT....
CS27 tires, any locked timing 19, no one-ways
The track is ozite, due to only being raced on once everyother week the traction is very low.

Thanks
Dayton

The lightened servo posts are dialed. :-D The color matches the bulkheads and everything else. Now, if only the battery bar standoffs and offset bulkhead matched.
