So u cant see where the steering link might be rubbing on the blade arm connecting the lower control arm? It's weird that it only happens with the shocks connected. So u centered your steering servo before putting the servo horn on? It could be one or both of the screws on the steering slider being a little too tight. Let us know if u get it sorted out

This appears to be steering slider related, have you double checked its placement/assembly?

The slider is where is should be I've checked that do you think it might be the suspension needs raising to get more clearance?

Are the piston shafts of both shocks adjusted to the same length?
Possibly the right side is set longer than the left which is causing the slider contact on the underside of the pushrod. Adjust the ball end on the piston rod inwards which should cure it.

Hi, after watching the second video I can see at the end the servo horn is hitting the back of the right hand shock mount and the servo horn is not at 90 degrees to the servo when the wheels are straight. You could try setting the servo to it's central position with the servo horn removed, then setting the servo horn at 90 degrees to the servo. After this adjusted the main steering pushrod two get the steering straight. This is the general set up for all the rc cars I have built as the servo has more leverage on the wheels with it set this way. I have attached a picture from my hip savage manual so you can see what I mean. Hope this helps Regards Shaun Building-RC spitfire

Just be shore to follow the instructions on breaking the engine in correctly. Don't get tempted to get and drive the car to soon as this can damage/ shorten the engine life. Always a good idea to have a infrared thermometer to keep an eye on engine temperature. Regards Shaun Building-RC spitfire
