    I have a spectrum 2 8 0 that will lift the front wheels off on the corners. I thought that I have seen something about how to tighten them up so they do not floot as early. This only happens going fwd and not all the time. Any help for me out there?

    thanks

    There have been a couple of threads on the issues with the newer runs of the 2-8-0s and their issue with the bearing blocks for the wheels one just recently. You can try loosening the screws on the bottom retaining plate and then just lightly tighten them. Sometimes that works.
