| Gen7 Pro camber issue https://imgur.com/gallery/LkQgiMZ I have noticed as I've been driving it the truck has developed a severe amount of negative camber on the front tires. To the point the left front tire contacts the steering tie rod, as there is no adjustment for this and I have disassembled and reassembled the front end to try to alleviate any loose or misaligned parts to no avail it still has terrible camber which is effecting its steering and crawling ability as well as the tie rod rubbing on the tire sidewall wearing a mark through the tire. Any suggestions or remedies for these issues? |

Well that's a new one to me. There's nothing that "sets" the camber on those axles. The only thing I can think of is that the chubs are installed upside down or incorrectly in some manner. If this is something that's truly "developed" and not something that's always been there, then I'd have to think that the chubs or the knuckles are damaged. Maybe the pivot holes are starting to round out or stretch. Maybe you're missing the bushings that go between the knuckles and chubs and that's causing excessive wear? You'll have to take it apart and start trying to figure it out.

I'm honestly not sure if it has developed. I'm 95% sure its been there since new but I was too ignorant and excited to notice it. I have sent these images and an email to Redcat Racing as the truck is only 8 days old and am waiting to hear back from their tech department. I am planning to disassemble the front end again and try to figure out what is going on with it. I will take pictures and update this thread as I go along.

Its normal. If you buy aluminum c hubs and steering knuckles it gets better. Sent from my LGL158VL using Tapatalk |

| Re: Gen7 Pro camber issue http://imgur.com/gallery/4fzQGds Well, out of frustrations with Redcat Racing never replying to an email I sent to them about this issue I decided to pass the Gen7 Pro down to my son and get a TRX-4 Sport. |
