Default wonky steering

Ever since I pulled my mrc from the box I noticed when sitting still on front wheel was straight and the other had a bit of toe in. I figured it might have been one link being longer than the other. So I adjusted them and it was still there. Then I noticed the steering link is warped...noticeably:


I'm guessing it's a moulding fault. i'm not real fussed as I'll change it to a straight link.

heat it up and bend it straight

Nothing to it.

You could do a search for "soundcolors steering link mod"
Its a free mod, that will increase the strength of your steering link, as well as make it smaller, and closer to the axle housing.

Put a straight one in there and see how well it clears your axle.

I just dont get you new people... You think you have a MRC and a couple of posts and that qualifies you as an expert. Thus giving you the power to be a smartass...

His question is legitamate. Be here longer than 5 minutes and you would know that.
