Make sure your stack up is correct and if so you need to compress the spring a bit

If it's a new spring you need to hold it firmly and compress it a few times with pliers. It's in the b4.2 manual. Standard procedure.

I made the same mistake the first time i built my buggy seeing as touring cars dont have slippers haha um the the spring like compress a few times, and the black spacer make sure you have it so that flat side is towards the outside against the nut

Hey All,
Looking for some parts to finish a couple more builds for our program.

Still looking for

Ball studs
b4 turnbuckles
front top plate
servo mounts
T plate
bearings
Tranny parts, slippers/layshafts etc.

Anything for a B4/T4 or SC10 would be helpful.

Thanks

The broached ball studs have a hex broached into the top of the ball, allowing the use of a hex driver for installation and removal.

make sure you are using the right spring. if you bought a vts kit do not use that spring it is too long, you need 9739
