There hasn't been a problem with these yet, they loosen a little more after the build but no breaks so far. One thing to check is the front bulk head, "DONT SCREW IN TO FAR AND LOCTITE IT, THE TOP BALL AS WELL THE SAME. The drama is if tightened to far they will strip out. I'm getting this looked at NEWS TO COME ?
does anyone else find that the lower center pivot ball connecting the chassis and rear pod, can be pushed out of it's holder w/ VERY little effort? I can feel a slight snap as I push it back together, put comes apart very easily.
I hope once i get it together, w/ the center tube and shock, that it won't be that easy anymore.
They will be fine. With the side spring screws just screw the holding set screw down at least 3mm also put in a 8mm flat head instead of the 6mm, this is for the side links
my build has come to a halt till I get more ends....: BUGGER(

Yes it is the one you want, with every new car there will be some problems, the TEAM DRIVERS dont smash much and these small things can be over looked no excuses just a fact. Every F1 so far I've built and driven needs tweaking

In any case, I'm still following this thread
As in my write I made note of this, so far so good

Now with the bit not fitting where the battery starts will happen with all (so far anyway) just need to pull body out when fitting and it will be fine, you can also just trim out that area if you wish.
F-68 BODY MORE HERE OF THE BODY
