Schumacher Mi5

That's it, I'm not going to buy another u4270 king pin replacement set as the same thing happens .... The king pin failed again tonight. I've purchased 50 M4 x 14 hardened screws and have started to use these.
Anyone else got this issue....? it is the same set up for the Mi6.

I've had some bad wrecks with the car and have never broken these on my evo. I'm actually surprised at how durable this car is, I've broken the plastic piece that holds the bumper but that's about it. I just keep getting faster with this car and probably won't even switch from this car any time soon. Actually thinking of building an aluminum version just to alternate.

I had found that the thread had not been screwed in straight into the hub and thought that I had solved it, but alas another one broke again last night.
Removed the kingpin on the other side too and replaced with the hardened m4 x 14 screw. Job sorted! Lasted 3 heats and counting.
Roll on next week!
Love Schumacher cars (had Missions, converted to Mi1's, then Mi4CXL and finally got an Mi5Evo (or two!). This kingpin (for me) seems to fail very regularly).

Yes, it is breaking on the threads. Breaking one every race meeting.

I'm joking. If there is a good alternative I'll buy some parts.

I seem to have a serious issue with my evo. Down the straights on full power my car seems to violently dart right to left so much that I have to lift off to keep it stable. I'm running boosted 13.5. Tried turning down the boost but didn't solve this issue. My friend has the old MI4 running 21.5 motor no boost has a similar issue down the straight as well. All other brands seem to fine. Has anyone experienced similar and what they did to solve this??.

I would also check for movement in the servo saver or servo glitch.
Hope this helps.

Thanks guys, Yes this has only appeared since I installed the twin point steering. I have hardly no bump steer. Will raise the TPS and see if it solves my problem. Will check for tweak but not convinced its that as the car never did that before the TPS. Im not using a servo saver either. I also cut the wishbones all round, never installed the straps, wondered if that could be the cause , will test and report back over the coming weekend if it gets solved. What baffles me is why Schumacher would release a upgrade (TPS) and not make mention of the need to raise it???.

..I've attached a gear chart for you .. for 17.5 generally guys run an FDR between 3.4 and 4.3 depending on track, grip layout etc .. For 48p It looks like you'll need the 70T and some other pinions (30-39T) to get the ratio you're needing.. maybe ask some locals what ratio they run to get yourself in the ballpark .. hope it helps
