Heya everyone I am having some steering issues. First of all I should tell you my setup. I am running stock bellcranks with duratrax flanged bearings in them instead of the stock plastic bushings. I totally thought this would smoothen things out no problem. Well it does until you add in a powerline upper radio tray. For some reason when I use the upper radio tray and screw it down it wants to tighten everything up and well it just isn't working. I am still using the S3003 servo but with a 6 Volt hump pack. I have tried taking out everything and putting washers under neath the bearings and on top of them but to no avail. Please Help. Sorry to keep askin for help I am kind of rebuilding a NMT. Later
 
Hey,
I think you should've used unflanged bearing's, at least that's what I used in mine at everything work's like a champ. Hope this help's.

Well Chuck I figured out my problem. See I am also running Lunsford Titanium Buckles With RPM Heavy Duty Ball Cups. I had the truck apart this summer and when putting back together I used Ball Studs off of an RS4 3 Shock tower. These are larger than the regular ball studs for steering. It was binding the ball cups and also stretched them out. I had to replace the ball studs and ball cups. I will post some finished pics later this week. I am way too busy right now. Later
