For any link car, if a side link is not free after a hit, it is an indicator of a center pivot issue
It's a Yokomo R12 pivot.
Yes, I understand that the pivot or side links wont move freely after a hit or crash. What I am try to get at is the lower half of the pivot block distorts under the pressure exerted by the chassis mounting screws. I guess the plastic is too soft and causes this distortion. I assume the Xenon pivot blocks are made from a tougher plastic and is more resilient to distortion. Of course the Rev8's pivot doesn't bind... because the plastic pivot housing and the main block are individual pieces. You can crank down as hard as you want on the two screws holding down the carbon fiber assembly. As long as you don't crank down on the two small screws that assemble the plastic pivot ball housing.
That's a setup I would like to have.
