Agreed. And perhaps with different bars, top deck, springs and plastics to reflect what people run - just like the XB2 dirt vs carpet.

Thanks but it's rubbing against the aluminium of the mount and there's no way the belt or mount can be moved so that it doesn't rub.
I ran it last night and you can see it's rubbed as there's a build up of dust where it's touched. Hopefully it doesn't cause the belt to wear out prematurely. The car felt decent enough for a shakedown run. I'm quite a way out with the setup but I can tell it will get there and be a fast car. This is my belts natural position beside the servo mount, you can see the distance by the reflection in the mount; http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...psgpa9etcl.jpg |

My belt naturally seems to gravitate towards the right hand side of the front pulley, though gently.

Is there any play in the spool? Can you shim it one side to move it away?

The optional alloy steering arms always seem to have more play than the kit items, so..... I'll opt out of those please :D

Still 4 kits available. Us spec with alumn chassis.

I agree with u...I only bought them cose I saw them on every team driver car pics....so I said they must be good....so I don't know what they do to get that slope out,or they like driving it with that much slope....go figure

Ran my US 17 Spec alum chassis today for the first time on asphalt... wow this is way more stable than my 16. Small adjustments and the car responds right away.
|
So who's building their kits with the floating steering option and ran it vs the standard option. I've decided to try the floating option as I have the 16 with the standard option. Havent run it as I'm waiting for a servo. Will the Sanwa ERS 971 servo fit, anyone confirm??

Built up my '17 last night... as expected, went together effortlessly.
Having looked at a few posts about a battery back stop, and taking inspiration from a post on the T4 facebook page, came up with this simple solution. Uses a spare servo post and a 8mm M3 screw. Space the forward (servo mount) stop out 5mm, and you get a nice straight battery... |
