I just fitted some spacers yay

the beast seems to have much less roll in the corners and it looks way cooler

however spacers do seem to create a lot of wheel wobble and road steer

i can suffer the road steer as my old renault used to do that

but as for the wobble grrrrr

so... i checked the tracking...... nope fine
checked the ballancing... nope thats fine
i check for play in all the joints and steering system ...... NOPE its fine

it Must be the spacers with no hub excentrics (or however u spell it) they must be causing the issue

okay so.... i gotta ballast the tyres (its lucky i play airsoft) dump 2000 bb's in to each of the front tyres ......... DONE!!!!!!!!

YIPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
happy happy in lala land with ballenced tyres :D:D:D:D:D:D:D Razz

i'm sure the spacers are because of the hub excentricx
but ur right that something isn't on straight tho
the wheels probably arn't as the spacers have no excentricx hence the bb's :D

If the spacer is not machined to mount on the actual hub then it may be off centre (excentric) and no amount of bb will fix as the wheel in effect is not wobbling but moving up and down...

did the bb fix it ?
