Frame Twist?

[SteveB1]

Greetings,



So my front bumper twist has bee bothering me, but I ordered a Scale Fab front bumper and was just going to swap it out, but I find that the frame seem to be twisted. Have you guys seen this before?



I'm gonna loosen the radio box and see if that's pulling the frame. Making me crazy when I take photos and it's askew.



Thanks.

Try loosening as many chassis screws as you can, straighten it out, then re-tighten.

My wraith had the same goofy twist. Could never get rid of it.

Thanks guys,



I did loosen and rework the frame; still there. I looked close and the plastic parts are slightly warped. I'll get a new set this week. I'll see how "good" the new parts are.



Thanks again for sharing your ideas. I do appreciate it. See ya on the trail.

I should mention, after 2 years of having my Wraith I recently rebuilt it with a steel tube chassis off of amazon. The stock chassis was broken in many places and would have cost almost as much to fix as I paid for the steel. (~$55) I had to do some modifications to make it work as it was designed for the bomber, but I'm very happy with it. My only gripe with the rig is that it is quite heavy. I also have metal axles and the truck weighs about 8.5lbs with a 2200 3s battery. It was originally a spawn kit and I've only broken the front locker and stripped the factory plastic trans gears. All the other hard parts have held up fine running 3s through a 21T Titan 550 motor.

Interesting....


I'll check that out. Thanks!

Going with a VP frame steering servo mount helps keep the front of the frame supported in those area's. Plus adds a little weight to the front end.
