MB-01 Suspension issue

[tamiya monkey]

Hi all, reaching out to all you guys, My lad has a new MB-01 for a little club racing, but the front suspension keeps coming out, the suspension balls come out of the suspension arms, looking at trying to fix this issue, would fitting the Low friction metal ones make it any better? Can't work out if its the balls or the suspension arms that are the issue.

They should help, one of the issue with this chassis is the sloppy arms/hubs. Popalong RC did a good video on it.

Yes, indeed the metal suspension balls are the best solution to the problem. You need them on the lower arms only.

Cheers guys, fitted in lower arms and the issue is much improved.
