Axial Scorpion Front Upper Axle Control

[krazymatt]

I have a Axial scorpion and the upper control arm where it mounts to the front axle has some play. Is this normal? I've tried tightening that screw but it doesn't seem to help. Do I need that upper wishbone looking assembly? It doesn't seem to affect anything. Just when you're crawling the front axle has play from the top and wobbles back and forth. I'm just trying to keep it nice and tight. Thanks.

Best bet is to loose the 3 link set up altogether in the front and rear and switch to a 4 link set up. it will get rid of the slop and help reduce torque twist.

Cool, any particular recommendation?

Yes the 2 links I posted above should take you to a front and rear 4 link plate, both are aluminum. The only other option would be to do a front 4 link that moved the servo to the drivers side and allows for a small lipo battery to be mounted on the front axle for better weight distribution and a lower center of gravity. This is behind the axle steering set up that worked well for me .

The 2 links above are what you would need for the set up.
