I just got a slash 4x4 platinum LCG edition and i broke an a arm.After that i went to my local hobbie store and bought green RPM a arms.I put them on and when i jump the suspension goes down but then only comes up a little bit.I took the a arms off then drilled the wholes a little bit bigger so that the pin that holds them in would slide easily inside.I drove it.That wasnt the problem.Does anyone know what it could be.

Didn't do this before, I'm assuming.

Maybe you tightened the pin for the caster block too tight...

Yep has to be either a bent shock shaft or bent suspension pin.

Does it cycle smoothly when you pick it up? If so you might have put the shock in a different position on the lower arm

I might have a problem like that with one of my new slash. The body rums on the tires. Even more so when I go in reverse. I'm new to this so I have not pin pointed what I think it could be yet. Going forward it makes little noise but gong in reverse it just wants to touch the body. It did not do that when it was new out of the box. My kids have been crashing a lot tho.
