Default Nemesis: Steering issue, and better pivot ball?

Hi everyone,

I found that my wheels won't turn on my hardwood floor when they are on the ground. I have a DX3 radio in, an Ofna 1400mah 5 cell hump pack, and the stock servo. Anyone else's wheels not turn when they are on the ground using the stock radio or similar set up?

Also I just turned on my Nemesis for the first time, and found that my steering wasn't straight. Instead of having the trim off center to begin with, I decided to center the steering arm. So i took it off, but I found that the pivot ball that holds the first linkage to the servo arm (has a philips head) is made of very soft steel, so that I've already chewed up the head a bunch. I'm sure the next time I take it off, the thing will be toast. Can anyone recommend a pivot ball that is the same size that is better, preferably a hex driver version? Maybe a Traxxas suspension pivot ball? Just hoping someone else has had this issue and replaced it so I dont have to go and try out a whole bunch of them.

Finally, I've got one pet peeve to state: Why did CEN use the little red two prong connecter on the end of the switch? I have rarely seen hump packs that use this connector, most often they are futaba j type. Why couldnt they have used that on the battery pack and the end of the switch?

All in all though, I'm still very impressed with the machine. Hopefully I'm even more impressed when I get to run it!

Thanks

Al
