Help Building HPI RS4 3
Ok, I'm building my first kit and I ran into a small problem (I'm not mechanically inclined). There are these small spring pins (Z251) that they show going through holes. My problem they just go through the hole and wont stay there. What am I doing wrong, how do I install them so they will stay?
I decided to get a kit instead of a RTR for the fun and I better be able to rebuild it when parts break. Thanks

just my .02...I noticed the pins fell out too (76822b and 76822a) even after attaching to the shaft
so I put a little silicone in the holes (VERY LITTLE BIT< NOT TOO MUCH) just to seal the holes up
worked fine!!

RE: Help Building HPI RS4 3
The one thing I've learned when building this car is that I need to have more faith in the instructions. [&:]
Sometimes I try and out-think the instructions saying, "it should fit this way or that shouldn't do this" or something similar, only to find out that there is a solution to my concern a few steps down road. If it were me putting these instructions together I would note some of these "awkward" breaks in the building steps. But thats just me.
