ackerman is the link between the two inner front steering arms in board the ones the servo connects to
8 c is number 8 on the shock tower see manual
c is on the hub outer most i think check manual again it shows u in there

and if it's written exactly like you typed it (draglink -3mm) then it's a custom draglink that is 3mm shorter than standard.

Hi phil

Where could i get one of these custom draglinks,or do i have to make one and is it the white bit in the steering?

HEHE this makes me sound such a newbie this xx4 is totally confusing me i love my b4its so simple.:)

Also where can i get a piston set from?

Has anyone got a part number?

The custom draglink is something you'll have to make. Use two ball ends and cut them down a little and use a very short turnbuckle to get the right length.

As for pistons, you can't buy a full set. You'll have to buy each colour separately

Red - A5046
