Sonicr360 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yes I agree - After spending out the money, it is a shame to leave them sat here. So I will pursue this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicr360 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Evening, The state of my current "2011" has shown that after some tweaks to the Servo, the "toe-out" of the tyres and putting more clips on the Shocks, it has improved much! It almost goes in a straight line now. The screw where the servo arms connects to the Server was tightened. The right and left Suspension arms were replaced. I also had new bearings - I tried to clean the old ones, but thought I had spares so used them. Got new Tyres - the old ones were getting very worn. Drive Shaft Hub Carrier Set (One side only, as there was a crack! Screws Servo tightened (as mentioned). Upper Arms Now, I think that is it for now... Got shock plate to do, as I am not very happy with the existing one, but as I said, there is a dramatic difference so far. NOTE: This is "not" the WR8 Flux 2013 edition (Black and Blue body that got crushed by a real car), this is the 2011 (look at my profile pic!). I have the weekend to look at the latest one, but I am now running out of parts. But I got a good idea as to where to look. So I am getting there. Slowly but surely. I feel a little happier, but boy..... time consuming or what. One question.... Uprated shocks.... is this possible? I am using ALOT of clips to stop the body grinding to the ground when braking. Or would some sort of oil suffice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicr360 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Forgot to mention.... Arm brace was in my opinion, acceptable - Although I had no spare.... so could not replace. But if you think I should, then I will Thanks, Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicr360 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Fitted the rims & tyres. I had to glue them all as could not find pre-glued sets anywhere. Managed to glue my skin together but wheels fitted and goes ok. First time trying this.... Sort of pleased.

Mgozzz Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Good to hear you got it handling well! If you have any questions about the other one (when you go through it), about the state of parts or whatnot try to post up pictures and I can tell you what I think.

Sonicr360 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Ok thanks. My plan is to tackle this over the weekend as I believe the shock plate will resolve the problem. As mentioned previously it only takes a small amount I guess to completely put the car out of alignment. I was also debating about getting new shocks but on the car as well. Upgraded ones.

wheato82 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I have the same problem, just not had a chance to have a look at my wr8 due to an upcoming house move and this is a new car. Only this I've changed is put on the older design shell and wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicr360 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 I have to do the shock plate on the front.... Done tyres now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotshot888 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 If your car pulls to one side or another, check chassis tweak (balance), measure your ride height on both sides, front and back. Make sure the right/ left height is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
