|  Steering,,,,,,
Testig toninght I noticed that the steering gets hung up A LOT....basically it will not even move if minorly bound. Never had this issue on my ax10. Servo is the hitec 403oz, Would going to a straight link possibly help?

| Straight link helps , but extending the servo arm that attatches to the right knuckle helps ALOT , Vanquish sells one and so do a few other companies and vendors on this site . I just hacked  up one of my own out of an old aluminum shock tower from a different RC car . Hope this helps , it did on mine . |

Running a longer arm on the knuckle at the drag link takes care of this issue.  |

Are you running a BEC? If so what do you have the voltage set at?

I polished the drag link starting with 600 grit sand paper on a block and ending with 1500 grit, now that thing slides buttery smooth. Make sure to round the edges of the drag link.  |

Is it a new servo? It could just be tired.

Fairly new hitec. I did have it at 6v. I forgot to bump it to 7.4. I still think it will be an issue. I have the bwd arm and am going to convert to a single link.

There are 3 weak parts to the steering. Plastic Knuckles should be the first thing to replace. They flex and cause too much counter steer. Here 3 Piece steering needs to be eliminated and replaced with sold single tierod. Here Front steering link should be replaced and use stronger less flexible rod ends. Such as Traxxas. Here Once I replaced these 3 things I have tons of power to my steering. |

you'll see an improvement in the "slop" when you get rid of the stock three piece setup. You'll also lose some of the steering "lock-up" that happens at full throw.

The axial knuckles are still going to have the same problem because the short arm on the servo side at the knuckle. But longer arms dont work with the stock wheels | |
