The next time I need to replace my arms I may try something. The new Tekno cars have a bushing that goes into the arm where the hinge pin goes though. I may try drilling the AE arms to accept those bushings and see if that will give a little more smoothness and consistency.
Never noticed that on the new teknos, pretty smart idea. Don't think there is enough meat on the current AE arms for that to be a viable solution though.

That's my concern too, but I think you only have to open up the arms from 4mm to 5mm. I have some of the bushings ordered so I'll see if it works or not.

I have not really noticed a difference set screwing the lower arms to the hinge pin on the 3.1, so I abandoned the practice there.
All my lower arms have been great out of the package, I lightly ream them and put them on. I have noticed I've needed to shim all the lowers close to 1mm. All the arms on the car slid back and forth between the suspension blocks. Yes, this was even with the plastic 1mm spacer up front. I thought I built the car wrong initially.

Forgot to add in the notes that I had a new set of wheels and tires on it too. That can definitely cause some discrepancies but I couldn't find my setup wheels!

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to post all that info. I only run electric, but I'm trying to get my RC8B3.1e to handle more like the nitro version. This will let me pick the correct battery/motor/weights to at least get closer. I know there's a lot of other factors, but right now my B3.1e feels like a dump truck when I have a full size battery in it and then is super sketchy when I use a shorty pack to get the weight closer to the nitro version. Pretty sure my weight bias is jacked up with the shorty pack, but now I can confirm.

Thanks
