Anyway, the ball joints for the steering are very tight, I disconnect them and the wheels turn free, so does the servo saver, but as soon as I connect everything its really stiff. The ball joints are way too tight. I may replace them with Xray instead of mucking with them.
The rear wheels won't fit. I press the wheels on and they touch the hub, but the drive pin is just in the rim and the rim still needs to move about 2mm before the quick release will clip on. I'm going to pull it all apart again, but I wonder if I have the OS2 axle or hubs or something.
I guess I'll figure it out soon.
The latest 08' 960 kits comes with OS 2 axles and rear uprights, you must use OS 2 wheels which are usually white rims.
