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.

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

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?

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.

http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/16551

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.
