The bottom three screws are not needed so you can put the pumpkin on a bench grinder and smooth out the bottom if you haven't already sir |

made the shafts today. for the fronts, mark where the shafts will pivot. then cut them down to that length. I sleeve them with stainless tube when I weld them back together. you can get the right length dog bones for the rear. but the pin is to small for my liking. to much slop in the drive cups. so I just cut and sleeve some with bigger pins. finally on its own feet. |

Looks great man. If you want to get of more slop out of the rear you could always put universals there too. |

just a tip. when allowing the knuckles to turn more make sure that the CVD is not now hitting the inside of the knuckle on full steering. i have found that they usually hit before you bottom out on the C-hub after you do the grinding. know what i mean? i can take a picture tonight. |

Flip the servo horn and put the tie rod on top of the knuckles. Could even use the closer hole on the horn and trim it down.

yeah man. what bart said. i put my tierods as close in as i can get. that way i dont need that long arm on the servo. you might be able to tell what i did in these pics with the tie rods. the drag link id on the end hole, but the control arm from the servo is very close in. that makes the servo hve to move very small amounts, and also speeds up the action a bunch. the bottom picture you can see what i was doing. |

this is what i ended up with. to make it work i put some spacers in the servo to move it back. so the tie rod wouldnt hit the servo horn at full turn. | ||
