I think that may be classed as in the passenger compartment. If I was you I'd Box it in, sealed to the passenger foot well with drain holes through to the tank. That said, its just my reading of the manual, I haven't tried to take anything through an IVA. That's what I planned to do, I think Deano had the same set up and his went through IVA ok. |

My build is progressing albeit slowly at the minute. It seems everything on my car is different from everyone else's which is taking me much longer than expected. Anyway I decided to put my car on sliding plates so I can easily move it about, this obviously meant fitting the wheels. My problem is that camber of the front wheels. The photo's don't really emphasize how bad the angle is, I'm sure there is something wrong here. I have adjusted to top camber adjuster so that only about 10mm of thread is left in and to be honest I wouldn't feel safe driving it with the adjuster that far out. The suspension arms are the right way around and I haven't got the front's and rear's mixed up. It really is so bad that I'm considering having the top arms refabricated a bit longer. Any suggestions? P.S. The angle looks worse when it's on the ground rather than slider plates.     |

The only thing I can think is that:
a) The bottom is to far out - I don't see how that's possible though.
b) The top is too far in - again I only bolted it together, I didn't fabricate it.
Could this be an fabrication error by RTR?

Looks way out. Not sure whether the designs etc has changed. If you coming to the AMM have a good poke around other rockets to compare. Or post the dimensions of wishbone here ands we can try to see if ours differ. This is what mine looks like:  Bob |

It's not something like ur uprights being upside down or on wrong side is it? I've looked at mine compared and everything looks same. I'm using rtr uprights tho.
Just a thought tho mate. Otherwise I echo Bob...post some dimensions and we can check ours.
Wayne.

Are the wishbones that you have on the top front the correct ones, just check with the ones
on the back incase you have mixed them up.
again as has been mentioned just post some dimensions on the top uprights, even just put a ruler
beside them and take a pic with your fone just to give us a rough guide.

No I've tried the wishbones on the back and it's not possible to get them wrong due to where the spring goes and where the ball joints go. |

So from centre of the top ball joint to the chassis it's 264mm ![]()  This is from outside of top arm to chassis and measures 186mm  |

Found the problem. I think you have the upright (Main gold section) upside down. if you look at where the fender bracket attaches to the upright there is a hole in the plate this is where the main bolt for the spindle goes through and as you can see from your pics the hole is too high. You need to take apart the upright and just turn the main body 180 degrees. This should sort out the alignment. This is how it should look.  |

That's what I suggested earlier...did you look at your uprights?

Is it even possible yo get these the wrong way around? I'll have a look later today.
Thanks guys :-)

Yes, it is..lol..
I had loads of stuff in the wrong place as I went through my build..
Looking at your pics again they are defo upside down.
When the arm for the track rod end is fitted there is very little space between it and the nut for the bottom ball joint were as you have loads of room.
When you spin the upright round you will probably have to remove and rotate the caliper bracket unless you can just swap the upright from drivers side to passenger side.

Now you mention it the wing stays do look very high, that should have been a clue for me :-) Thanks airforceone I'll swap them over. That'll be the 4th time I've rebuilt the hubs  |

No probs.
Just make sure that all the lock nuts on associated with the uprights are still doing their job as
they aren't meant to be tightened and loosened off multiple times.

As I have built my front wheel hubs incorrectly I started to change them around tonight. Needless to say it was never going to be as easy as unbolting each one and swapping them over. I managed to sheer the bolt which bolts the main wheel shaft to the Rally Design Allow uprights. It's nice to know I'm working with quality parts then . I'm really quite concerned about that as if that bolt snaps while driving the wheel will literally fall off. Also how do I get the rest of the bolt out? I guess I need to find an engineering company, either that or ask Rally Design to send me another one.  |
