Hay Jerry..

Well I do have to admit that I'm your typical type A personality ( I need / want to have everything perfect) they might be good enough for some?? But they aren’t good enough for most.. (You fit in the most category Jerry)

The wobbling is up and down, when the tires are removed you can grab the steering blocks and move them around (left, right and up-down), they aren’t tight / snug against the pivot balls and when you have the tires installed it just magnifies the issue to an unacceptable state.. Sure they look pretty but looks and functionality are two different things in my book..

The RPM blocks have no movement and yet still provide the availability of a free flowing steering and are firm but yet supple against the rear balls (hhhhhaaa hhhaa) sorry about that..

Posting is easy!! Just open a photobucket account www.photobucket.com (it’s free) an upload load your pictures from your computer to photobucket and copy the (IMG code) then paste the code into a word or the forum document.. I can snap a shoot with my camera, download it into my computer and upload it in photobucket and post it live on the web in about 3 minutes..

That’s great to hear about your bearing find, forward over the link when you have a spar moment for the rest of us..

Have a great one.


Shaun.


Nothing!.. Hahahahaaa..

Still if you want to trash the steering blocks let me know. I will take them off of your hands and see if they can be salvaged for anything useful. I have two stock EMaxx's for the kids to play with, so I may be able to put them to good use in those. I will look into the photobuket some time this week as I am on my own for a week. I just dropped the wife off at the airport for a trip to California. WWW.VXB.COM is the stie where I purchased the bearings. It looks promising to me. Plus getting the digital caliper will be a great help with these bearing issues. Ok well now that I have the house to myself for a week I have to see what kind of trouble I can get into. I have so many projects to get to and the Honey-Do list is long as well.

So have you checked out VXB yet? What do you think? I am curious about others thoughts and feelings on the site and product line. If you place an order let me know. Good luck on that and on your next project TDC.

Yea the wife is visiting with family in California, and the kids are still staying with their Grandparents until we leave Brussels 01/July for our trip to Korea.
