|  MRC Steering issue
I need help trying to get the steering "right." I have moded my 1.9 MRC with Losi alumin Cs and knuckles. Integy aluminum steering link (some may say integy is the prob  it isn't.) when looking at the rig from behind and the steer is to the right the left wheel points further right the the right wheel causing a wide steering radius. When steering to the left the oposite happes, the right wheel points further left than the left when again, causing a widesterring radius. I removed the Integy links and made titanium links the same length as stock...same thing. Any idea of where to look, suggestions...help! Thanks. |

Redrill the knuckles so that the bolt sits in a straight line in front of the pivot points on the knuckle. This will correct the problem you are describing and make both wheels turn the same amount left and right. If you do a search for redrilled knuckles you should be able to find some pics. |

x2 works great! Use a drill press if you have access to one. not much material if you dont get the hole dead center.

Thanks for the input everyone. The link was especially helpfull. No access to drill press but there is a hobby shop near me where they are very resourceful.
