Default Changing the steering geometry?

So is anybody of the creativ heads around working on moving the servo around to get the servo horn out of the way?

I have it all figured out in my head. But this does not help you. I will get something built in the next month.

Any word on this topic ? So far i've only seen Sven come up with an actual change.

I see a few other options, but havn't had the chance to try anything yet,

has anyone figured it out yet ?

i used 2 of the standoffs behind the servo on the side nearest to the upper links to angle it back and toward the wheel havent run it yet though but it looks like it kinda kicks it back a bit

Here's the servo flip and half BTA

It worked very well but now I'm doing full bta w/o steering rod under the axle. Should be ready next weekend

Just rolling the servo over so the arm is closer to the wheel and making a shorter linkage helps a ton.

Now that I flipped my servo, it never hits. Couldn't imagined anything better.

Lets see it ! does the servo horn drop down between the link mount and the motor ?
