EPA wont help if you tap something with the steering extended. This could be a problem.

On mine to tierods were hitting the inside of the rim at full lock. So I turned the EPAs down so the rim will not hit. It was the only thing I can see to do.

So i replaced all 4 of them with the OFNA Super Big Bore ball ends and spring retainers

Heres how mine painted up

That's a sweet looking truck......:nod:

The new body is finally starting to look okay to me now. I think at first it was such a big shock and now it's settling in...lol.

+1 I thought about trying the +1mm offset hubs to see if that would help stop the binding. I ran those on my 1.0 anyway so I might give it a try.

Where is it binding, the only thing I saw was the rim hitting the tierod?

yea i would just put the 1mm or 2mm losi hub extenders on to stop the hitting...no big deal at all....:nod:

Exactly. So putting the extended hubs on would move the wheel 1mm away from the tie rod thus stopping the binding.

Do you have a link? I will have to look when i get home. I saw the tie rod hit the rim right where the rim and tire meet. Is that what your are talking about or is there another spot?

I am talking about the edge of the spindle hitting the webbing in the rim.

Here is a link to the hubs I am talking about.

They are +2mm. I forgot wether they were 1mm or 2mm. They will move the rim 2mm away from the spindle and hopefully stop the rubbing.

These are shown here as 1mm extenders?:
