try this: switch your top and bottom links and mount them both to the same hole at the chassis. Should work like a charm.

If this is too sidetracked or off the topic, let me know and I'll delete my post. I just have to ask though. Why are you calling it axle wrap? I also have a problem understanding the term bump steer as it refers to RC also. Axle wrap in the 1:1 word occurs with leaf springs, due to them not being static, yet locating the axle. Switching to link suspension elliminates axle wrap. If the link geometry is completely wrong, the axle will walk under the vehicle, but that's insanely high anti-squat, not axle wrap. And the bump steer, bump steer is cause when the draglink isn't flat enough and its arc doesn't match the arc of the axles movement closely enough. If you mount your servo to the axle, which almost everyone does, the angle doesn't chenge even if the axle flexes 90 degrees. Instead, it acts like a 1:1 rig with full hydro steering.

Again, if this is straying too far off, I appologize. I just want to get a handle on the RC lingo.

axle wrap is just a more commonly understood term, that allows people to visualize very easily to what i'm talking about.

This actually clears a servo in the stock location also.

I bent the ruler like a horse shoe and screwed it to where the oem link mount holes on top of the axle. There are better pics and designs out there. Start diggin and you may come up with another idea.
