At a recent run over last weekend I noticed in the pits that the front wheels were exhibiting some chatter during steering. I spent the whole week trying to find the source of the chatter only to realize later that it'd probably been there the whole time. Car seems to go fine on the track but when throttling and steering on the bench the front end vibrates. Did some reading and it seems it's normal for universal joints to do so... week of troubleshooting wasted. lol!
One thing I've noticed with the FF is that tire selection or condition is less important compared to a traditional Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) buggy. On a RWD buggy, especially when tracks get looser, the tire choice can make the difference between a good handling buggy and one that can't even get round the track. On a FF however, even worn tires will work decently - of course a good tire will generate even more traction, but the performance gain is not as significant.
