u could get a servo with longer throw but to be honest considering the angle of your steering link, u need a longer servo arm. it will fix your massive angle and your throw distance. cheap fix too. good luck

Get rid of the cms/pan hard set up and put the servo back on the axle.

Lower ride height would help and possibly a bent drag link and bent link to match. Sometimes bolt on mass produced parts are tuff to work with . Hard to make them work on every wraith set up When looking at the first pic my first thought was bolt the dinky mount on there  Last edited by evan03; 06-23-2013 at 10:47 AM. |

Yes, lowering your ride height will make a large improvement.

Ok looking at this and considering both options on a longer servo horn or lowering the rig I think I will go with lowering the truck. I don't like the look of a lowering kit so other than that how can I make the truck sit lower?

Harley you are talking about the lower link mounts that go bolted on the axel housing?

update: I flipped the link mounts as suggested by Harley and it made a huge difference. I can turn a lot better and I'm sure it will handle a lot better on the trails with a lower stance. Thanks again for the help guys.  021.jpg |

Looks much better. Those gmades are very tunable you could possibly get the ride height adjusted a little from there. Might also extend the upper link ends about 1.5 turns to bring pinion back in check after flipping the shock mounts. |

In the first pic the shocks look to be near fully extended st ride height. Is the basher or crawler type rig. I'd shoot for shocks compressed about 50% at ride height. That's kinda all personnel preference though

| Re: Wraith steering problem
evan03 I think this truck will be more of a crawler type truck. I live in the desert so it will mainly be used for desert trail runs. I'm just happy to finally be able to run this damn thing lol!
