New Parts

[Mattystorage]

Hi all,

First time poster. I recently purchased the Associated RC10B4.2RS buggy as a starter to get into the hobby and I have already started to replace parts based on reviews that said the front A-arms are not very strong and likely to take the brunt of a novice driver.

I've replaced the front shock tower and both A-arms with carbon to give more strength but now I seem to have a problem in the the suspension doesn't retract after an impact. As I said before I'm a complete novice in this level of RC and my first thoughts were that the pin that holds the A-arm to the chassis requires lubrication, I haven't done that on the rebuild.

Would I be right or should I look elsewhere?

Many thanks
Mat
