Default Steering clearance

i was wondering if there was a way to make the WK have better steering
I noticed the steering knuckles hit the C hubs on full lock turns is there any way to fix this to make it steer better?

You can trim them for more steering or buy aluminum ones. Rc4wd makes high steer knuckles and rcp has some real nice ones.

Zrazer i did some trimming on the steering. on the knuckles and the hubs.
so the knuckle started like this

and my hub like this cause i modded it abit already

the hub after trimming and new counter sink screw in

and the knuckle

now after i was done and its put back together

I found after testing it, it did turn better but it was binding still on the dog bone and the joint so now im looking in to getting Integy Universal Drive Shafts

Im using 6/32 threaded rod and alum tube from the hobby shop to cover it with traxxas rod ends.
all said and done it took me 30 minutes to do both sides with my drill press and a drum sanding bit. now im just waiting on my Universal Drive Shafts i ordered today from my lhs
