goldblades7 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) schumacher rally blocks are ideally for indoor/carpet racing ,the schuey mini spikes are great for grass/astro and i find the stockers best for offroading.

mini-z-awd Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 extek carbon chassis on ebay cheaper than i thought it would be at just under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Thats good I still have not heard back from the UK distributor for exotek but its probably cheaper from the toyz they are good to deal with too I have had a few things from them and its fast delivery but customs might stop it for being over the price limit Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1974 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hey folks. Still got this steering issue with my losi. When I steer left it goes back centre. When I steer right it doesn't centre and it stays right. I have the hitec 225 servo with the 131 kin servo saver? What the heck is goin on?

What the heck is goin on? have you changed the length of the steering arm that go`s from the servo the the steering post`s ? is anything binding it i.e stopping it returning to centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1974 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) No binding mate. Took out the servo saver out and it's not as bad. Didn't change the length on the steering arm. Is that the prob? Edited September 16, 2012 by andy1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
