We have now built several Rockets in house and none of them have suffered from bump steer. RTR I never thought of that point when considering the issue, when I go to get my certification I'll tell the inspector that he does not need to check for bump steer because the manufacturer says it does not exist - yes that will work I'm sure. Out of interest are there any figures available from measuring checks? What is not being taken into account here is how little the suspension actually travels during road use. RTR But is has the potential to travel until it hits limits. However without wanting to ruffle any more feathers let us just agree that the issue is not whether bump steer is present it is simply how much is acceptable and how much one wants to live with.

Thanks Steve. Good to hear it works. Nice update in the tech section (the simulator is v.good). I had just updated the decals on the stalk, however may move the fog light to position three as you've suggested, keeping the wiring far simpler overall. how did you clean off the old print? and where did you get the new decals? cheers, paul

The stickers were an ebay item: 'Dash Sticker Sheet Boat Marine Race Rally Kit Car'I didn't find any true decals as such. These stickers are okay but you do see the surrounding plastic when stuck on. Cheers, Jason.
