I've been looking for a set of CCD Berg tubes for awhile, I finally found a set. Thanks to Cboggs, thanks Chris.
Swapped out the tubes in the process I managed to bust my titanium tie-rod. The Delrin Tie-rod will be replaced by a D-lux titanium tie-rod and drag link. They should be here Thursday just in time for a double comp day with BLC & BYB clubs at Horsemans Park apple valley ca. This Saturday .

Me too, usps.com says Thursday the 10th... plenty of time to install them.
Thanks Erik, for having tie-rod and drag link in the mail the day after I ordered them.

My pleasure.

I think its just USPS website not updating? I have a couple of packages I am waiting on and they have not moved since the 6th either... I could be wrong.

Funny part is that I feel guilty for shipping the next day. I really like to ship the same day if possible. I know what its like waiting for toys in the mail!

I've noticed my rigs rear wheel seems to lift a lot.. in different situations in video below are three examples @ 3:32 and 5:02 and 5:44 Any ideas how to stop this from happening? Easy enough to correct with driving most of the time. One suggestion was to space rear upper shocks out more on chassis. Not really wanting to make shocks stick out anymore looking for other ideas.

Not too sure what to say Mr. Out.

I will keep an eye on my truck to see if it is doing the same thing.

What shock oil are you running? Springs?

Can you post an updated side angle photo?

Good driving BTW. What a talented field to have to compete against.

[cboggs]

Has it always done that or just recently? My sporty used to do that until I spaced out the rear upper links at the axle. I've never have had the pro lift a tire like that and its not spaced out, not sure what you got going on there to cause it.

My XR was doing that for a while, felt stiff and wouldn't let the dog leg down unless I worked the front dig.

I did space the links at the axle a bit more and it helped but big change was raising the links at the chassis one hole helped too.

It's not anything new just something I'd like to tune out...
Might try spacing upper links @ the axle for next comp...

That's the story with most everyone.... I floundered horribly on this course, both halves.

Where are your links @ on chassis top hole or ? Mine is 1 hole down from top... so I could rise my rear links up 1 hole..

Mine now are one hole down from the top so its where yours are now. I was one hole from the bottom before.

For now l spaced the rear upper links at axle 2mm on each side of link mount..

[tapped-out]

I've noticed from pictures of other rigs, my rear axle is clocked up kinda high. Maybe this is part of the issue?
So besides the 2mm spacers I've twisted my rodends in a hair to bring front of axle down a bit.. hopefully I'll be able to test before next comp.
