| ...Until the "dogbone" binds up and snaps the axle shaft. It's pretty much maxed out when the knuckle hits the screw. Mine have nice wear marks where the axle shaft is hitting the inside of the stub shaft. So, you'll want to invest in some "CVDs" if you go more than stock. |

Here's a photo: Bone stock steering and axle parts. The red area is rubbing the blue at full lock. I've heard of people grinding some material from inside the stub shaft(red area) to prevent this. |

I have plastic knuckles and plastic C hubs and have enough turning throw to partly bind my stock dog bones. My claim to fame is the C hub screw mod where you use a tapered head screw and you counter sink the hole in the c hub to get the screw flush... AND most of all. I run a better servo and a Spektrum 3.0 radio which allows me to set my servo end points to 125%. I use a Delrin steering link and it actually binds and bends on the diff housing at full steering lock. at 100% it only turns like my buddies stock servo setup with stock radio. At 125% I have bound the dog bones and snapped C Hubs when useing the Dig because it oversteered that much. |

One thing you could check is if the dog bones are pushed all the way in to the locker. It could be just the picture, but it looks like the dog bone is to far in the stub shaft.
