| Honcho steering bind?
I have a new Honcho TR and have run into a problem out of the box. When the front suspension is compressed, the screw which hold the steering link to the servo horn gets jammed agains a cross brace on the chassis. Has anyone else run across this?

The Dremel fix worked. I carved out a nice section of the cross brace. I can't see any drawbacks other than I shouldn't have needed to do this to a new RTR.

| yes you are right that it shouldnt have needed to be done, but they used the same chassis and braces as the scx-10 short wheel base kit thats why

I removed the stock link and used a Rustler steering link attached to the back side of servo arm and right side steering knuckle. I didn't like the sharp angle with the short stock link.
