What is overlooked is the tolerances in the manufacturing process.. in this part especially when 1* toe is achieved with a .5mm shim.. a difference of .05mm anywhere in the mounting (approx half the thickness of a sheet of paper) can yield .1* in rear toe difference side to side .. compound this with 2 separate mounting points (f/r) and it can become a significant issue... Glad we could assist...

I've tried using the PTFE" and Saran Wrap but it did not last long. Only last around 3 battery.

I recently rebuilt my XRay after the end of the season and wanted to share a solution I came up with to make the battery fit better.
I use the Orion Carbon Pro 90c 5000mah pack and I didn't like how there was side-to-side play with the stock holder. What I did was measure the amount of space between the inner 30g weight and the battery. I then cut a strip of lead weights to that length and sho-goo'd the lead in place. This now provides a very snug fit for the batteries and puts about 6g of weight additionally in center-line of the chassis.

Front Arms Rubbing on Wheels
Hi all,
Just finished putting together my 2012. Just getting the kinks out. One issue I am having is that when I turn the wheel the front arms are rubbing on the inner of the wheels/rims just slightly at speed. FYI the wheels I am using are ones i had on my old 007 which are at least 4 years old as I have not bought any new tires/wheels yet.
Is this an issue specific to older rims/wheels? or do I need to file down a bit on the front arms.
Thanks in advance
Ken

They ARE rubber, added a few shims and still does it. Heres a quick video i put up to share. Hoping its the old wheels like i said they are about 4 years old RP brand. ANyone able to measure the inside diameter of your rims i just checked these ones and coming up with about 44.34 mm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8Qm...e_gdata_player
