Talion V4 Talion Suddenly won't Turn Well?

[TheGolfBallKid]

Hi!

Brand new to the forum after having bought my kids - who am I kidding - me a V4 Talion the first of March. I've been thrashing through parks and parking lots and have upgraded a few things. However, after putting new A-arms (RPM) for both front and rear on Saturday, I've lost almost all steering - only when going slow and/or braking can I get it to turn well. Also put in a HR servo brace (aluminum) as part of that project. Still using stock servo and tires. No changes to shocks/diffs/springs.

Can anyone point me in a direction as to what may have happened? I have cased it on a couple jumps, landing nose first, but no broken parts or bent chassis is visible.

Appreciate any/all help!

Nice body color
Joke aside, take a picture of your arms and steering area. Overhead shot or similar without the body.

By all means you should be able to move the tires with your hands and see where it's binding.

First impression, your upper arms are installed wrong. The RPM logo should face forward.

It's painted like the fish - Mahi mahi (my other expensive hobby). Anyhow, thanks for the responses and here are the pics requested.

Yeah man the top arms need flipping over, the straighter edges should be forward facing and the curvier edges facing backward ?

Flipped 'em over and ran a pack through the car. Back in business!!!! Thanks for the help everyone. Hope to be able to pay it back.

Nice looking Talion. Did they really change the name to Mahi Mahi because everyone thought they were eating Dolphin?

Or drove an (el) Dorado? Lol

Yes. Since people remain uneducated on reality they were renamed to actually be able to sell them to larger markets. Nobody wanted to buy 'Flipper' the friendly dolphin and eat him.
Similar reason for other names to be changed like 'Grouper', it previously had a 'politically incorrect' name.
