Tweak Problem
markp27 Andre, check section 4.3 in the FAQ in my signature - there are some tips about how to overcome binding suspension.
If the FAQ tips don't make a difference, then for the front, try removing the smallest caster clip and see if the suspension still binds.
Also check to see that the alu adjusting nuts in the steering blocks and the rear uprights aren't too tight - this would cause binding on the pillow balls.
Don't be tempted to start removing material from the suspension arms, etc. until all other causes are eliminated - the fit of the parts should be very good and not give any problems with binding.
Cheers, Mark.

Some of the more experienced folks here (Pyramid, goldfinger, D ...) use a different tools I think ... its a sharp object they poke somewhere near the middle of each end and lift the end to see which tyres go up first.
If you race foams I think this is fine because usually by the third lap of any race one side of your tyres are wearing more anyways ... hence your car is actually "tweaked"!

Only common parts are available. Special option parts rarely come by.

KO Propo said the specs are the same as the 2343's and 2344's.
The new servos is just the heat-sink versions.

I would want waterproof feature more than a heatsink feature.

I think he should check the pivot ball cap retainers like what Mark has suggested. May be a little tight. Also check on the rear sway bar if there is no binding there.

Do servos really get hot that they need heatsinks? I believe Sanwa / Airtronics started with them.
