Im just sick of it. I fix one thing, then another breaks and so on and so forth....Lately, it wont roll freely, it doesnt steer(with a new hitec 645 and proline ss) and more problems then I care to think about. Can anyone take this thing and fix it up and give it to me at the berwyn bash? I will pay for parts and of course a little something for the labor!

I know, but ive probally in the last 2 years PLAYED for like 20-30 hours, and attempted to fix for hundreds, this car never worked, and I dropped to much money into it, I dont wanna part it out or sell it, but I just want it to work for the berwyn bash.

And I check everywhere for binding, I think it is coming from the diffs, but I don't know.

Well, your running a .21 mid-block, and you upgraded the tranny and driveshafts, and left the diffs stock. Odds are thats where your problem is.

You check and make sure that the pillowball retainers arent too tight too ? That'll cause steering issues. Bearings are all smooth too ?
