|  Axle c's wont stay tight!
I have Strc aluminum c's and my jr 8711 will push them out to the point were i broke a pin in my MIP's while turning in dig mode! I have tried super glue and tightened the screws till half of them are stripped now. Any hints?  |

New axle halves maybe, and I'd say some different EPA adjustment if the servo is pushing them that far.

Are those the STRC Cs with the side to side adjuster slot like the stock ones? are the screws not keeping them from self adjusting? Maybe get a set of Cs that don't have a slot just a hole. Every guy knows how things with slots are always causing trouble  Just a thought |

I've had a set on backorder with Chris ever since the January NWARC comp. He said they will be in on this friday. If you need them for the comp then go ahead and get those. I need them too, but I don't think I need them as bad as you do. Just make sure that he orders some more for me.

I would suggest another brand as well... the slot in the STRC's is just retarded.

I have RCP's on my rig and they are as thight, if not tighter than the stock ones! I'd go with those for sure! WAY better quality that STRC's stuff!

I had a set of Axial clockable Cs and I "clocked" them and I still don't get what that feature is for? it puts the axle at some weird angle that I could not see how it would work that way. Could hell or anyone else please explain that to me? |

The clockable ones let you move them back level so it turns good! | |

You could try counter sinking the the holes on the C's and using a counter sunk head screw so it can't slide in and out any more, and like stated before change your END POINTS on your radio so the servo doesn't push so far the it causes it to do what it's doing...

OK first off sorry for hijacking your thread rotten. This will be my last post on this subject. I understand caster, and the regular Cs have caster built in to keep the drive shaft angle a little straighter to the trans and still keep the Cs vertical. Also small adjustments can be made with shortening or lengthening the upper links. I am looking at my rig and wondering why you would need to clock them? everything is going in the direction it is supposed to. Would this be for something extreme that I am not seeing like crazy high CG or that you would want your axle either flat or pointing down sharply? Does anyone have a freaking picture  |

I have the axial Cs too and think they are really clocked backwards. To really be useful they should let ya clock the pinion up and keep some good caster. Maybe I got them on backwards but I think I tried them both ways with the same effect. They don't have the slot though, so they don't move around even with just set scwers in them. | |

How im running now. I want to make my upper links longer to turn my pinion up so it wont hang up so much, but my steering will be pointed towards the ground!  .Here is how it would look with some clockables.( stock knuckle used for comparasion.) In this first picture you can see if i rotated the axle forward, with a clockable c i would effectivelly still have the same steering angle as before.   Hope that clears up some of it for ya! | |
