Here are some pictures of the HS knuckles on an AX-10. I wasn't going to post these because of the BTA setup shown in the pictures.


THESE PICTURES ARE MEANT JUST TO SHOW THE HS KNUCKLES ON THE AXIAL AXLES.


THIS BTA SETUP WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE BECAUSE WE DO NOT FEEL IT IS AN IDEAL SETUP.


NO MORE PM'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or I will put you on my ignore list


The problem with the setup is when you turn the wheels to the right it makes the effective lever arm almost go away. This throws most of the servo torque out the window. It isn't a bad setup if you have a ton of servo power but otherwise it is not ideal.

You can really see it in this picture:



Here are the rest of the pictures I took:

Flip that servo around.

On second thought why don't you have the servo acting on the center of the drag link?

I understand that and the fact that the model is not finalized, I was merely just shooting some ideas your way trying to help.

Nope :-(

It is not my call on the priority of these knuckles, I wish they would have been moved up. They are of a superior design I feel.

I hope to get somewhere soon on when we can expect them

Me too, I'm in the process of designing a new truck and would like to have these modeled so I don't have to "rig" a steering setup.

Thanks for the reply Harley.
