Maybe this is an general question, but since the problem is on my new Mi5, I will postbit here.
My problem is to getting the rear swaybar adjusted right. The one side is lifting normaly up, but the other don't make the opposite side move at all ?
I have measured the swaybar links attached to the wishbone, and the are excatly the same lenght. The angel of the swaybar links is also 90 deg as stated in the manual. Without the swaybars links attached to the swaybar, the seaybar are moving freely, and without no sloop.
I have checked the swaybar on my setup board if it is straight, and it seems like it.
So I don't have any more ideas, anyone who have a good advice ?

When do you use rebound and when do not use it,somthing i have not really understood,basiclly whats it used for always run none,but like to know anyway.
At euros chris said about a brace there testing and lower shock towers and think they said shocks too,

Typically you run more rebound if your on a low grip track. If traction is high then minimal rebound. Or if your track is bumpy then run more rebound

Thanks for the hint. I checked that also, and no problem there. I talked to another RC friend, and he told me to try adjusting the lenght of the sway bar links.
I shorten one of the links, and now both side works as they should. So there must be some tweak in the swaybar, that I coulden't see even when I laid it flat on my setup board.

This question is for the guys that run the orca batteries in the mi5. What are you guys doing with the inner battery post. With the battery in the car it is almost under the top deck. It cannot be pulled out without taking the battery out. I like to charge my batteries with them in the car. Anyone have any idea's on how the acomplish this??

After this weekend of racing (total runs on the car is between 18-22 and a couple of major crashes and bumps/bruises along the way), I've found about .75-1mm of vertical play in my front arms. The CF is perfectly fine but has anyone found an effective way of removing the glue-in inserts in the arms?
I wonder if there was a way to have the inserts attached w/o ca'n them...
