Habenero's SCX with some newbie q's

[habenero]

I finished her up finally, climbs better then I expected. :-P I tried the battery in both positions front and rear. The added weight to the front would be welcome for climbing but it just seems to high, and did more harm then good for my liking.

Two questions I have are: My wheels run with a wobble - think this is due to how I mounted the tires? I torqued down the bead locks in a star pattern but I suppose this is where the trouble is from.

Whats the advantage of chassis mounting the servo?

1 check to see if the bead is seated correctly then make sure that the screws are all the same torque. I only say this because I also torque the bead locks the same way and have no wobble

2 the servo on the frame is for scale looks, you don't see a huge servo on a 1:1

Nice looking truck, I really like how it looks in black.

As far as the tires, its no like you're running 55 down the highway in a 1:1. You're not going to get the wobble completly out. I dont think it would affect performance in any way that you would notice.

i have the woble problem myself. it doesnt affect performance but it sure bugs the heck out of me lol. i found that if you put weight in the wheels you also have to trim the foams a little or they bunch up and make the tire wobble. by the way cool truck
