here are the close up pics. it took a long time to figure this out, getting all the links the right length. and there is almost no bump steer
cant even tell its there

the bell crank- made from 3/8" fuel line and 1/2"x1/16" flat steel



i also need some help with a design for the panels. any ideas?

lol, thanks. i have been driving the piss out of this thing, and i havent had any major issues(just a couple steering fixes), i was hoping to get out with the NERCC guys this weekend but i couldnt go:-(

I was going to try a similar steering setup on my twin. What did you have to do to eliminate the bump steer? Is it as simple as lining up the pivot points of the drag link and the suspension links or is it more complex than that?

I guess there is always trial and error.

Nice build up. I am very impressed.

ya that is what i read. i looked around on google and that was the way they said to set it up. as long as the drag link pivots are located at the same points as the links , and it is parallel to the links you shouldn't have any bump steer.

i still do have some in the rear but its very slight. and as for the front with the way the servo is mounted, when you steer if sometimes forces the axle to sway but that is minimal as well.

Hey man was reading your project today and was wonder what shock mounts were you using on the chassis mounts? they look cool and i need something good and strong for my tuber.
