stiff steering

[schmacher]

i just built my 501x and it seems that the steering at the knuckles is kinda stiff...anybody encounter that and if you did, how did you fix it ?

Use a small drill to make the holes in the steering blocks a little bit bigger, that should help making it smoother.

I mentioned this on page 6 of the review - I think the holes don't line up properly so I drilled straight through with a 2.5mm drill bit which helped a lot. It does ease off after time though when the car has been run a few times.
