increase stearing

[TRAV]

I have a rip with TF axles 40 series mud slingers
And running super shaft link mounts and servo mounts
My turning radius is huge, is there any tricks do get better turning out of my rig

Thanks

are you running from and rear steer?

you can do some little grinding around the hubs. and the axles, it helps, but not a lot. i can take some pics if what i do to mine tonight.

Rc4wd knuckles. Are you axles locked like a spool? If the are it will create bindage.

i use the rc4wd, and they dont give any additional steering for me. i grind them too. they are BEEFY though.

There is a few things you can do

But first off:
Are you running Stock Knuckles?

If so

#1 tilting back your C Hubs 20 Deg. will increase steering
#2 Grinding off the little "Tab" that sticks out from the C Hub
#3 Grinding the area on the back side of the Steering Arm
#4 Running CVD's

These 4 things (Combined) will give you 20 Deg. more steering

But the first 3 mentioned are "FREE"

After ECC is over
Supershafty.com will be making "High Steer" Knuckles which, when
used with CVD's will give you Way more steering then you will ever use

Hope this helps

free mods are always great.

I'm running front and rear steer.
both axles are looked.
I'm having trouble with my set up. right now I have my horn facing up to clear the rest of the stearing linkage.

also a side question. died any one else have a problem with their supershafty link mount rotating while driving?
after a run my front ones rotate downwards.

Hey buddy

I dont think you have the Lower Link mount tightened up enough
i run them on my BYB and do flips and crashes all the time and never twisted one yet

Check to make sure there tight and if that still doesnt fix it maybe put a screw through it

Or send it back and I'll send you a new one

hey man, got some pics for you like i said. you can see the little bit of grinding i did on the tab and the knuckle. i can def grind more, and probably will, but this works for me right now







also, the lower link mounts. i took a pic of the gap to show you how tight i make them. very tight. i have them on a couple rigs and havent noticed them moving. also have them on a 1/8th SC truck that goes 45mph, and even that doesnt make them move. hope you can get it working man! let us know if you have more issues, we can all lend some level of experience.

I was able to get my link mounts to rotate on my FOFF but it took high speed hard cart wheels to do it. I just drilled and tapped a 3mm hole in the strap part of each one.

Do you have cvd's?

best idea yet, two 3mm bolts into the axle tube will clear it right up!

[TRAV]

i was thinking that as well since the stock screws are to long once you remove the stock suspension arms. they hit the dog bones if you put them in all the way.
found that out the had way

no CVD yet. di they make a big difference.

[mjderstine]

i use 8mm bolts in my axle cases, and they done hit a thing

Stock axle shafts limit the steering too. You can open up the drive cup on the stub shafts, but that will weaken an already weak part. I highly recommend CVDs. There are a few that are direct drop in parts. Check out the sticky. The last few pages of the thread cover that I think.
