In this picture I already posted it shows the tierod does not hang below the axle at all. In fact I had to set the camera on the counter to get a shot that even showed the tierod at all. | |

Ok so I got the NEW and final design on the Tierods. They are now 3/16 stainless steel and come either straight which works great when your C's are clocked all the way back or in a bent version for when you want to run your C's in the middle position. I got a chance to test both of these setups and wow are they strong. The turning just feels like it has so much more power and there is very little to no wobble now. If there is any its definitely not from the steering anymore. The bent tierod pictured is aluminum for testing. But production will be stainless just like the straight rod. And wow is that stainless strong!!  Here it is mounted up with the C's in the center position with Vanquish Knuckles. You will notice it rides nice and close to the motor so it doesnt hang low at all.   Here is a front shot that shows the rear axle and the tierod is no where to be found. It tucks up behind the axle nicely. I think going with the 3/16 rod really gave that much more clearance.  Next I tested out the straight setup. To run the straight tierod you must have your C's clocked to the back position. There is plenty of clearance on the motor with this setup. Also with the smaller diameter rod it allows for complete maximum steering. The knuckles are the first thing to max out on my new setup. Which is in credible for Vanquish Knuckles    |

Those are super pimp!! I was worried the bent would limit steering..that's great that you can still get full throw!! Nice work guys... |

Nice, good job May I please see a picture like the very last one you posted but with the bent link? I'm kinda curious to see if the VP knuckles touch the hubs at full throw w/o any bindage. Thank you, I appreciate it. |

We did some testing with 1/4 rod, it didn't give as much clearance as the smaller rod and in the end there was no need to go that large. It only added weight, lower clearance and less steering!! Aside from the few design flaw fixes on the XR I would dare say this is one of the best upgrades. | |

Looks great. I was talking about more caster not less. I think if i flip the bent one it will work fine. great product. |
