Help! Any good method to changing suspension/sway-bars??
Hi:
I'm really new to this hobby. I collect a lot of toys from Japan and I've seen the Bits and Digi-Qs at online sellers from Japan for a while but haven't ever really bothered to order them. But when Radio Shack brought out the ZipZaps I thought this was a good cheap way to give these little micro R/C cars a try.
Well I've got my ZZ and the Fast&Furious kit I'm monkeying with the engine and suspension etc.
My question is: Is there any method to getting that darn sway bar out and in without damaging the chassis?
I pulled out the original one and put the 2 hole one in instead. But when I pulled the stock one I damaged one of the little clips that holds it in.
I superglued that and let it set over night and then put the 2 hole one in this morning.
But I seriously thought I was going to destroy those clips on the chassis trying to get the new sway bar in. They don't bend easy and that clear plastic seems pretty darn fragile. Plus the swaybars are so tiny and slippery I kept dropping it.
Sigh
I ended up shaving down one of the bumps on the sway bar that holds it to the car just so I could slid it in the chassis easier. Didn't seem to effect how well it stays in so I think I"m ok.
