What would you suggest? Maybe more front camber? I just don't know.

last time i try and blast my bearings, and re-oil them. they didn't last 1/2 gallon since i tried to "service" them.

back to brand new one time use $1 bearings.

on a side note.. when checking p/s pinch, the theory of the engine holding its own weight by balancing it by holding the flywheel.. is that with the pipe mounted?

From the looks you had then in the kit for awhile Ive experienced this type of carnage with my CB always the outer AVID Rev are good I change my CB before every race and HUBS after each gallon rest after 2 gallons no issues so far.

Hi all.
Is it normal that my rear shock shaft and piston when fully compressed comes off the top of the shock body? Won't it hit the bladder when landing high jumps?

Yes it's fine. When it's mounted it will not compress that far.

anybody run the +2mm wheel hub with your truggy? what are your thoughts? im having problem with the proline wheels grinding the front lower arm at full lock. not so much with my AKA wheels.

im thinking the +2mm will help with this problem but wandering what will it do to the handling. im liking the handling right now, lots of steering and dont really wanna change my setup.

Your cranking your steering throw your adding to much stress on your servo adjust you EPA down a tad.

Losimoe 12-02-2010 10:00 PM

not really. i had my epa adjusted properly. at full lock the servo is not under any stress. no buzzing sound what so ever

I run the plus 2mm in the front for this reason. Go ahead and try them. You won't be disapointed in your handling.

Mine looks exactly the same. I just left it alone; it will stop. I think you pretty much received all the grinding already. It stays right about there and does not get any worse.
