I installed the new side stiffner set #903205 but found that with the aluminum pulley it did not spin freely. I had to go back to the original plastic pulley.

Track width
Hi.
How do You guys setup Your track width on 960 using Hudy Tweak Station??
My tweak station shows around 205mm (rear) instead 260-262?
What am I doing wrong?
Thnx

Besides the fit issue with the aluminium pulley, I found the side an excellent addition to the 960. Acceleration does seem stronger with the plate.

I don't spend a lot of time (money) in practice, I only race, so don't have a lot of time (money) to experiment.....
But my next experiment will be, to put another grubscrew in and place the weights between the pins, as they are shorter and they can be placed in between......

RC Pro Race #4-Las Vegas
I just want to say "GREAT JOB" to Mr. Steven Jackson out of Las Vegas, Nv for a great showing with his Maxy Pro Race Fueled/Serpent 960 this past weekend here in Vegas for the final leg in the RC Pro Series-Western Division.....
If it wasn't for receiver pack failure, he would have been on the podium....
It's been a long time since I've seen him pilot a car the way he did this past weekend and it's only getting better
"Now lean out that Motor"

Another thing you might try is sanding away a bit of the coating on the bearing holder and glue at that position. The bearing holder looks like it is coated with something. Perhaps a heat resistant material? The coating may be smoother than bare metal and resistant to the effect of an adhesive (i.e. a non-stick coating).

New ackerman set
Anyone using the new ackerman set? I notice there is a lot of play between the set and the upper radio plate. I've stuck in a washer to help remove some of it but I was wondering if there was a method that didn't require extra parts.

Hi all
Sorry for my noobness but i have a small question regarding 960 assembly...
After completion of step 1.5, i have an horizontal "endplay" of the axle, of about 0.3 mm..Is this normal, or the axle should be rock solid with no horizontal movement watsoever?
Thanks
