I take it it`s worth doing  :wink: I`m still having small probs with my steering :cry: Up in lucan you were running a bit late on the day and did not want to upset you by wrecking your head about my car when you had to work on your own car :wink: If you do get a chance next sat. Just show me where I`m going wrong if you dont mind. :wink:  :twisted:

Have never come across that proplem yet.I put a washer under the ball and one under the locknut and tightened down.I would say the hub might break first! if anything.

Now with Lipo weighing in so light it would not be a disadvantage anymore.
Possibly an advantage so as to balance out the extra weight rather than depending on Lead  :?:
