What do these do-offer?, and where can you see them. Im converting a NB48 to GT might be of some use.

I run my inner link in the short postion and in the middle. On the hub i have the link in the longest position. This worked extremely well for me. I havent needed to raise the link any higher. In the front, i run the link on the twer in the short low hole and long on the hub.

Lowering the roll center on the arm is more drastic of a roll center change than changing it on the tower. 1mm on the arms made the car bite more than i could get from changing it on the tower. I tried every hole on the tower.

They increase rear traction. On the NB48 thread, a guy posted a link to the pic i posted. I dont have one on my i pad otherwise i would post it for you. If you cant find it, i will post it in the morning.

How tight are these inserts supped to be on the pins? I can't force them over the pin by hand.

Hey guys is anyone using a shim behind the wheel hex to take out the play in the axles? I got a little bit in the front I would like to get rid off.

They are a tight fit as the hole is extremely close to the edge of the insert. I wanted this to ensure that the pin didnt rotate inside the insert. The arm is supposed to pivot on the pin. Otherwise the hole in the insert would wear out quickly.

1) Anyone using shims on steering spindles to reduce the up and down movement where they are fixed to main spindle carrier?

2) Also anyone using shims on main spindle carriers to reduce the movement of back and forth,where they are fixed to front a arms

If so where would the ideal spot for shim to be placed
For 1) shim top or bottom of steering spindle? To slightly push front wheel up or down?

For 2 ) shim back or front of main spindle carrier in between a arm? To slightly push front wheel fwd or back

What would be better for shim placement for these examples?

IMO, don't shim there because the play will allow the dust to rattle out when driving.

also RC cars need some play in the suspension unlike real cars where it is catastrophic.

For the up an down movement in the spindles u might to able to take a file(flat /bastard) and file a little on the bushing. That will let u tight up on the screws and take out the extra play.
The play in the front arms I used the kyosho arm washer that come with the front or rear arms. And I shim the rear side of my front arms, I didn't have to but I did.
But the axle play needs the shim cause when u turn lock to lock the axle will just slightly rub the drive shafts when they float in but it doesn't rub when it floats out ward.

I really would not worry about shimming out the minimal slop on a offroad car. Once dirt and dust find their way in it will turn into a bind. I have honestly found this to be one of the best wearing cars I have ever run.
