Wraith with vp cms and panhard issue

[kingy]

Hi,

I've got the vanquish cms + panhard kit installed on my wraith and from what I can tell everything is all installed correctly, top left link removed etc. yet I seem to be getting an awful lot of binding/flexing when turning the wheels on the spot. When moving or the wheels are off the ground there is no problem at all. Video shows what I'm talking about much better than I can describe it.

Servo is a trackstar ts-910 running through a castle bec pro @ 8v so thats no issue.
Torque: 25.8kg.cm (6.0V) - 30.6kg.cm (7.4V)
Speed: 0.16sec/60deg (6.0V) - 0.14 sec/60deg (7.4V)

It might just all be in my head, but I don't remember it always being nearly this bad either. Any feedback or help is muchly appreciated.

First off your drag link and track bar are not parallel, adjust them so the flex at the same angle.

Maybe run the drag link up a notch on the servo horn

You can actually see it in the video.. It stops when you lift it up because the springs aren't putting any pressure on the axle, which position is controlled by the track bar.

Thanks, I'll move the links around and get them running parallel and see how it goes then.

If you move the link that connects the two knuckles below the steering arm then the track bar and drag link will line up.

Lowered the steering link (which in turn lowered the drag link) and moved up a hole on the servo horn and everything lines up much better now, and has all but completely fixed the issue. Thanks.
