How are you guys finding the play and wear now you have had them a while?
Do you still get a lot of play from the caster block bearing and how is the ever changing rear toe play?

As for rear toe, there can be a difference when mounting up the arms. Fixed that by running a 2.5 arm on the rear left, and a 3.0 on the right. Gives equal toe side to side (thankfully the arms are avaliable as individuals now, given the new wishbone sockets). The difference comes from the mounts twisting a little when bolting down, and is very hard to avoid, even when being careful on mounting them.

Hey Guys, Getting back into the RC scene after an absence coaching football. Loved the Schumie's of old and am looking to order the MI5Evo. Too many AE and Xray cars, need to mix it up.
Im running into one problem though. I can't find any hobby shops within 1000km who carry Schumacher. Not one to let that stop me, I'm going to order in a chassis and carry spares for racing. Primarily around here it is indoor carpet racing on Sweeps tires or so I'm told.
My question to anyone who can help is recommended parts I should carry for race day repairs keeping in mind its probably a two week turnaround for me to order and receive parts. Geeze you'd think I lived in a third world country and not Canada.
Many Thanks in advance to any help. I have been reading up on set up/build tips, but pls feel free to fire them my way if you have any. I'll be blazing a path through the other brands and testing my set up skills once again. Things have changed a little since I was last at the track. IE SST 98(best tourer) and first gen MI days.
Cheers,

The only parts that I needed so far were the rear hub carriers. They are designed to snap and I broke a couple already with rather soft but parallel touches to the track barrier. Having two or three spares might do the job at the beginning.

How about Corally. In their prime those were some great kits next to xray yokomo and Tamiya.
