I think it is coming from the kingpin and the bearings in the front caster blocks ? Ore some of it also might come from where the pin is going through the caster block at the wishbone.
Anybody has discovered the same play, and how to get rid of it. ?
yeah I have found this but only on the right side, ( had to change the left caster due to king pin working out with no impact.) so I guess it is mainly from the king pin. but I can see some very slight play on the mini hub but its too tight with 0.5mm shim.
On a side note another driver with mid motor conversion (brad) walked away with a very convincing win at our local club meet on Friday romped it to win by 1 clear lap, he has given me his settings so gonna have a try at the weekend and will post if it work good for me too. really liking the car and have just ordered the traxaas 4x14 button heads to see if they help the king pin issue.
