Hi guys,

I hope some of you experts can help me a bit with my 417.

When applying 50+% steering, I get some weird grinding noices and a lot of vibrations. It is not the normal spool wheel chatter, but it is a lot more violent. The problem is also present with a geardiff.

I have changed steering knuckles, C-hubs, wheel hexes, wheel axles (51445), and probably more that I've forgotten. The problem is, as far as I can see, in the front, as I have tried removing the belt and turning the wheels by hand, without improvement. I have tried removing the dampers, and detaching the steering and the camber links. No improvements.

I recorded it, so you can see it yourself:
+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


I hope someone knows about the problem, or can see it from the video. I have had 3 different Tamiya-drivers looking at my car, and no-one can find the problem.
