Long time since I had one of those. But if I remember correctly, you tighten the nut on top of the angled steering arm on top of the axle. That will clamp the top and bottom part together. Edit: See step 34 in the manual. Tighten the nut on top of that spring that goes into the axle housing. |

My clod still work with locked nuts. And with its original c505 graupner servo. It was abused by a 6 to 10 years old child during 87 and after. (Me)

That's how these things work. You either tight firmly the front saver or replace for a fixed one like I did. My truck works perfect and it has the cheapest Futaba servo you cold get back in the late 90's. Here's an old picture I found of it so you can see the aluminum block installed in place. |

MAKRED IMPROVEMENT Many thanks all. I tightened the front servo saver down and now it steers much better!
I was just about to raise another issue of a gearbox slip I noticed - only to discover that the hubs are spinning in the tyres! Not sure I want to glue them as it always seems a bit final and not easy to undo...... Now onto sourcing a front grill. Anybody got a broken/tired/cracked/distorted grill they would swap for some other spares? SEAN |

Elastic band(s) in the rims, or three tiny dabs of superglue ... you don't have to use a whole tube per side of each tyre like some I've seen, not even whole drops - squeeze the tube so a drop is forming but not falling & poke a cocktail stick or something similar into that.

Shocking - rubber bands installed and we have liftoff! Much quicker off the mark and the brakes work better too - MANY thanks.
I removed twice the weight of the rubber bands in fluff and crud from the underside! Never had the wheels off before I don't believe and was shocked as to how filthy it was under there! Another horror story was found though . . This beast has never been ball-raced! Another job to do, I guess ebay has sets of bearing for the Clod... Any better retailers out there? SEAN |
