| Maverick Scout - bent wheels?
I've got a Maverick Scout yesterday and I've noticed that all tires are slightly bent. I'm not 100% sure where the problem is - when looking at the tire, it's quite visible, but after taking one of the wheels off I've also noticed it's slightly visible on the hex nut as well. The wobbling behavior on the hex seems to be expected, since it's threaded on the axle at a very slight degree. What do you think? Have you noticed this before? Thanks!

Are you sure it's not just the tire glued crooked? The wheels are plastic I believe, correct? I saw a kid take a box stock Maverick Scout or something similar and break the wheels with the stock power on a 2S LiPo. |

Thanks for the responses. I didn't manage to get it outside yet, so it cannot be water. I've mostly tried at home and it's still on its first charge. I've removed one of the wheel hexes and the axle, just to check if they are bent, but everything seems fine. There is a slight wobble in the axle when running it, but it's very little - it probably comes from the other axle attached to the diff. I think it could be the wheels or the tires. I've called the shop where I got it from and they said that it's normal, because the car stayed in a box for some time and the tires bent a bit. They said that they will straighten with time. Have you seen this before? The tires are attached using a bead lock. If I want to check the foam, can I just remove the screws from the bead lock? Would it be hard to put it back? Sorry for so many questions, it's my first hobby grade RC . |
