I got a new Kraton 6s a couple weeks ago and apparently was seduced by all the bashing videos showing trucks dropping from big jumps, skidding around in the rain, and flipping over. I've had the car out under a half dozen times and already bent the chassis and one of the front drive shafts. As a result, I ordered a new MC2 chassis, did a complete tear down, and now am putting her back together. I'm beginning to understand part of the love of these cars is wrenchin' as much as driving.
When I was looking at the front end (sorry I don't have any of my own pictures and took this one below from the web) it seemed one side was really lose and the other one super tight. I watched a couple YouTube videos on how to set this, but still don't know if I got it right. The advice I saw was to tighten both bolts, top and bottom, so they are snug and then back it off a half turn.
Should I be able to move the steering side to side (not connected to the servo) easily or should there be some resistance?
(Also as a side note, those things went in crooked at first. It seems like they would be very easy to cross-thread and strip)
