    Question RPM axle carrier problems...

    Does any one else have binding issues with the rpm carriers? I know i dont have the caps to tight on the pillow balls but its causing my steering to"stick" the servo cant center the wheels back up and it hums kinda loud unless i flick the steering wheel a little to center the wheels. Any suggestions? Do the carriers just need to wear in?

    When is the last time you tore down the servo saver and cleaned it?
    Whatever it is I just said... I could be wrong.

    also, there are 2 adjustments..... the pillow balls into the a arms, and the pillow balls to the knuckle... either can cause binding issues if not properly setup.....
    Love how Noobs ask a ?, then say you're wrong

    Just had it completely torn down to dye the chassis and install thetoyz aluminum front and rear diff housings, steerng arm post, toe links and rpm carriers. If i disconnect the steering linkage there is no binding so i know its not the servo or the saver. The pillow balls are not to tight into the a arms it still has full steering range. Adjusted with a caster camber gauge and toe in toe out gauge.
