High steer knuckles with the Servo on the axle

[m1009cucv]

Starting to think that high steer knuckles are for chassis mounted servo only. I had to put on a long servo horn extend past the top link to have room for the servo to knuckle link. Lost a lot of ground clearance.. Any ideas or pictures? On how you guys did this. Thanks

Just swap them to the underside of the knuckle mount, still offers plenty of clearance and solves your problem. This is how I run all of my rigs, even though they are all CMS.

Yes, I run mine same way tie rod under the knuckle steering arms, draglink on top of the knuckle arms.

^ not my rig... and I don't use them.
so I'd recommend PM the user in the quote above.

A quick google search nets: these

another

^ tho' I didn't look at the applications

I thought I remember something similar listed at Asia Tees, RC4WD
or maybe it was Locked Up RC ?
HPI, Traxxas produce similar.
But since I have little interest... I didn't pay much attention to it.

Those rubber boots are for radio boxes in boats...AquaCraft GrimRacer Radio Box Seal Boot 2 56 4 40 2 AQUB9503 | eBay Just trim to fit.

I fail to see how trimming those boat box bellows will fit and seal
on a cv axle ?
got any pictures showing your success ?

instead...
I'd gravitate more towards an actual CV axle dust boot.

google or ebay
Dynamite DYN7687 CVD/CV axle shaft dust boots.

No imagination, plus the ones I linked are just one design. There are a few different ones out there.
