Generally speaking, you want the panhard and steering link to be the same length and parallel to each other.

Swap your drag link to the same side as the panhard, also get rid of the y link and just run a single upper link. |

Swap the draglink so that it is going to the passenger side knuckle. Last edited by Lentsnh2012; 11-17-2014 at 07:24 PM. | |

noob question alert. Why is chassis mount better than axle mount?

The lvl 3 set is also very prone to binding. I tried it, didn't like it at all. It did work a little better with a homemade panhard bar with revo rod ends and 8/32 all thread.

| Re: Steering servo relocation question
I like CMS setups generally, but that particular setup looks off. First, I much prefer when the servo is mounted vertically instead of horizontally to minimize binding. Second, it looks like your drag link setup is off. As is, it looks like your servo would run out of travel quickly when turning to the right due to the angle of the servo horn, thus limiting your steering to the right side. Either the link should be attached to the opposite knuckle, or you need a much shorter link so that your horn is vertical when the wheels are pointed straight ahead. If you can't get it sorted with this kit, the RC4WD CMS kit is very good. Good luck!

I switched the drag link, works much better now. I need to put power to it and center the servo, see if I have any travel issues but it appears that it should fit up nicely. Thanks for everyones help, I'm learning as I go. Seems I forgot everything I learned on my AX10.
