|  Pnuematic steering
im in the middle of helping out the guy at my lhs build a txt. we were talking about using either pneumatic or hydralic steering. we may use these http://surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UI...00&catname=air, but we cant think of anything that we can use for a pump and would automatically return the steering to center.do you guys have any ideas on this topic?

| real hydraulic steering
Hi there, I have actually had the great opportunity to drive a full scale monster truck in NZ and when i was being tought to drive it i was told that because it has hydraulic steering the steering will not self center and therefor i would need to make the truck drive straight. It was the best fun of my life. Ashley |

what about using this same cyl. with fluid and another just like it on the other end hooked to a servo to pump the fluid back and forth....?do you follow...this should also self centeras long as it dosent leak too bad.you could put the servo where ever you wanted. I may do this also...I am new to rc but love it I have a crap nylint with crap steering. I was just looking into shocks but this would be easier....good luck Last edited by shawnf6; 02-19-2006 at 10:24 PM. Reason: oops |

that can be changed by simply putting in a different steering control valve. the valve in my 1:1 allows self-centering on my full hydro steering setup. | |
