Are you using the #2 cam with the bearing on the down setting? Should easily get you above 5mm. Any pictures?

Different brands or series of tyres may have different diameter.

Also different inserts may effect the diameter.

E. G I've noticed on the Pit Shimizu going from one series to another may result in different diameter.

Front suspension and chassis

Does anyone know when the new front suspension will be released plus if there is a new chassis in the pipe line

Car is torn down now so cannot sorry. Pic is pretty clear though. Just might need to space the wing mount away with shims.

Hello fellow racers. I have been struggling with the F1R3 steering rack system for the IFS over the past few months. The system will not center itself after turning left and right. If I turn left the system tends to deviate the wheels towards the left and likewise if I turn to the right. I have changed servos, use a servo horn instead of a servo saver, disassemble the entire system and rebuilt it per the manual, tried to shim out all the slop and nothing seems to fix the problem. I do not want to go back to the stock steering assembly using the Y shaped servo posts. However, if I am not able to resolve the problem that may be my only option. Any help or suggestions you can provide would be appreciated. I am also going to post this on RC tech to see if anyone has had a similar problem and maybe able to help. Thanks in advance.
