|  Steering Idea
Ive done most of the steering upgrades so it turns when I tell it. But I would like to reduce the degree of full lock some. I dont want to use a turn stop because its still stressing the components trying to turn. I thought of shortening the pitman arm to reduce the length of throw plus it would increase the steering leverage (good thing) but the arm looks pretty short already. I haven't opened up the steering case so i dont know how far the arm goes in to the motor. If not is there any way to reduce the throw of the motor itself? Any thoughts?

Just wondering - why do you want to reduce the steering radius? Do you find yourself using too much throw and over correcting? The reason I ask is I do not know how much experience you have with RC - Sometimes if people are not familiar with proportional control, using small steering inputs can take some getting used to.

Some times when the front end is bound up at full lock and its getting a lot of torque trying to pull out it I thought it would be nice to not have the cv pins at the most outer edge of the cup (least strength). Ive seen people with 1:1 do that to save a little on u joints. Not a big deal just tossing around ideas. The steering mods make a big difference, but their still not hydro |

If your buds are having problems at full lock on their 1:1 u-joints then they need to buck up and get d60 bling bling longfield CV's Quote:
