| Wires out of axles
I have slid a washer into the peice that goes through the axle and the arm that is mounted the the 2 swing arms. I also slid on a washer onto the peice that goes through the axle and used a longer screw to hold it all together this worked great because now the axle can now hit the body without the inboarded shocks hitting but the wire is still short and the front wire is REALY short. Did u just oull and get more or solder on more wire?
