So the headaches begin. First time out, was not even getting the car to go straight. Reasons 1) bad servo, not centering 2) front track wider than rear.
Because of that, hit something, destroyed the plastic steering linkage. Wanted to retire the M06 hahaha.
Fabricated a graphite steering plate from an old F103 fiberglass chassis. Now back to testing.
However the 8 year old plastics are disintegrating. Shock towers, steering linkage, servo holder, are just cracking to dust
ahh yes the old plastic! I had to refresh mine in 2016 as well.. the gear box, rear tower, front hinge pin holders all had cracks! I believe the entire chassis is now refreshed with acception of main chassis tub.. still original.. but I do have a new one just in case.
The plastic Tamiya used is these m chassis kits is too brittle to begin with.. there is no flex in it whatsoever.. so a good impact will break it.
I havent been running mine much as no one runs m chassis at my track.. however April will be our TCS race and I will definitely be partaking in that race.
