I have recently aquired and restored a Grasshopper II and I am having a few problems with the steering. Problems are: 1) Car wobbles violently under hard accelleration. 2) car veers off to one side and the tinyest adjustment to the trim makes it veer off the other way 3) Front wheels seem very loose and wobbly I have never built or restored on of these before and I have no manual. I suspect that all the problems are due to the front wheels seeming loose. I have tightened the wheel nuts as far as the thread goes and it is still loose. Were there originally some washers etc on the front wheels? Any help is most appreciated.

Does anyone know where there are any clubs in Birmingham where I can race? I've just got back into RC after a long (very long!!) absence and I would like to join a club and race every week. Also, if there is anyone out there who would be interested in starting a club with me, email me. Cheers Scarecrow
