I really upped my sulking and complaining while doing family shit this weekend. Brought it up every chance I got, over and over and over again… Thank you to everyone posting on IG and updating this thread I went full court press on the accountant! Wifey got pissed and bit the hook and finally...

Ha it may have been me but I said I did it on old truck and didn’t think that was it 🤡. The ball was real area of play. I tried cutting a plastic shim and put it between the two halves but it was too tight. Swapped the balls from current with old trucks and was way better. Also the main nut...

Ok ok, had my wife come be my extra hands eyes not my 9 yr old. Think he was turning the wheel to aggressively even though I walked through specifically what I needed. Completely my fault but gonna blame him 😂 So found slack in the steering shaft. Thought it maybe the collapsing joint which is...

I’ll give it a whirl and see. When I was centering rack prior to connecting it was not noticeable, I think with the leverage of steering wheel it’s easier to turn it. I’ll see if I can get some vise grips up in there after I remove rag joint and see if it has slip or lash. Frustrating is an...

Welp that didn’t fix it. Snugged up large allen a bit and it made the steering very tight but still play/slop. Had to back it off to basically where it was. It may have very ever so slightly reduced the play but still there not feeling right. Not sure what to do now. I would assume it’s the...

Haha that was one of videos I watched. Love his stuff for mechanically challenged like myself. I wish I would got into this shit when I was younger and wasting money/time partying and such. Although I thing drug addiction is cheaper and less stressful 😆

Just surfaced from a rabbit hole dive. The allen bolt is 24mm, Home Depot sells a 5/8” “rod connecting nut” that’s perfect fits perfectly. Gonna attempt it next chance I get sometime 🤞hopefully is just not set to proper torque. Here’s a pic in case someone stumbles on this looking for info

Thank you for info! A cpl peeps told me to tighten down the big ass allen bolt/lock nut dealio that it should clean up the slop. I checked the rag joint thoroughly and that’s not it. I’ll try to find right size for that bugs ass allen bolt and give it a whirl, I’ll report back with what happens.

Any suggestion or ideas? I assume it’s the rack but… pretty bummed I spent the extra money for a new OEM non remanufactured rack. 😩

Had a window of time open up today and got the new OEM rack in fluid topped off. Wouldn’t you know it the rack has play in it! More than the old beat up rack!!! WTF!! Is there something I’m missing when doing a basic rack swap/install? Turned it lock to lock, let it sit at each side for a bit...

Cool! Now when is BLGT coming out with their RC line of replica memebers 1/10th scale trucks!?!

Hoping to have mine drivable very soon then try to arrange a way back Friday from dropping off truck and a way back out that Sunday am…

I’m gonna give it an ago. I got some faded methods that could use this as well.
