Scx10 wroncho alignment issue
It seems that my alignment is way off on the drivers side.....my trim is set at 0 on the transmitter passenger side is nice and straight......but as you can see in the picture not so much the drivers side......any suggestions on what I should check to fix it? It's all stock axial wraith spawn axles. Thanks

From the pic above, it appears to me that the steering link is too long. Who makes it, and where did you get it?
Don't feel bad, I purchased an STRC link, and it was too short, I had to add tiny little washers to get the wheels to line up straight on both sides, but my advantage was the link ends had to be added to the link to mount, yours looks like it's all one piece. If that's the case, you'll either need to modify your link by cutting off a little on the drivers side and drilling another hole, or return it to where you purchased it and get either the STRC or VP link. You may already know this, the VP link will be pricier, but, it will fit precisely. |
From the way it looks in the pic the steering bar is too long. try to get both tires pointing straight forward without the bar connected to the servo.

Well bummer I was afraid of that I bought it off ebay it's a hot racing link said it was for the wraith they were wrong not sure they will refund it cause it's been opened and used. Stanger part is the stock plastic steering link is the same length.
|
wow it the same length as the stock one. if you place the stock one back on is it back to good or having the same issue as the new one?
|
Well I put on the stock link and itsp much straighter in fact looks perfect......but I put them side by side and they are the same length eyelet to eyelet I'm stumped....lol

Hmmmm.....that's a head thumper. I saw you posted the same question on RCC, maybe you'll get a few more responses.
Put the stock one back on, but before you do, compare them one on top of the other, maybe there's a subtle difference that you didn't catch before. |
There is a difference, it's small, but it looks like the new one has the bends a little farther apart, and from what I can see, the lower eye is a tad longer than the stock. it's not much, but it's enough to throw off the steering.
|
Is it enough to to throw it off that much though?
Wonder if I can bend it a little to get it right. |
Ok i put them on top the they are off but just by a smig go figure that much would throw it off by a huge amount. Guess I will try and bend it not using it for crawling so shouldnot need to worry about it he getting bent back. Could have gotten bent the one time I did go ok on my little Rock course.
|
It doesn't hurt to try, but try to bend it with your hands first, little at a time, and keep checking
|
Ok after bending it little by little I got it much straighter and judging by how hard it was to bend it wasn't off cause of hitting a rock damn. ... lol. Thank goodness thanks guys my project overkill can move on lol.
|
Glad it worked out!!, now go have some fun!!
|
As soon as my second motor. And esc get here and a few other goodies...lol
|
Glad to hear you got it worked out.

Do the Wraith and the Honcho use the same axle? I thought the Wraith uses an AR60 and the honcho uses the one from the SCX10? or am I wrong? The fit issue may be because you purchased the wraith steering link set and are using it on a hybrid wraith/honcho vehicle if I am reading the thread description properly.
