|  AX10 Turning Radius
I just got an Axial AX10 Scorpion Kit about a week ago and have learned that the turning radius sucks on it. What can I do to improve the turning radius on my AX10?  |

More info will be need, such as what servo, servo horn, have you tied the mod that is on the front page of this website? Remember these are full time 4X4 & will not turn like a 4X4 off-road car.

you can shorten the wheel base , which is some time of work. or you can install a 4ws kit (four Wheel Steering) as mentioned above. |

 Buy the 4 wheel steering kit if you're just playing around with it. If you decide to start doing comps, you'll have to remove it. | |

my trucks' lack of a tight turning radius is making me a better driver! I'm learning how to anticapate where the truck will go when turning and now I can look for a different line through the obstacle so that I won't have to back up.

It's more likely that a new crawler will get bored and frustrated with a truck that's difficult for them to drive. If the guy is lucky and has a club in his area that is more concerned with having fun than thumping people on their heads with a rule book then rear-steer won't be a problem. ;) | |

More important than turning radius is learning to drive what you have like walking the front end at an angle and believe it or not using creative reverse. I sure found that ouit yesterday. We have BPRCA here as our local club so NO 4 wheel steering but they are a bunch of very helpful and encouraging guys. No matter how bad you do to them you've done great! and tips galore.

There are a couple little mods that give you a little more steering. Just check the Axial build thread.

| ax10 steering issues
Make sure all of your bases are covered like using button head screws on the c hubs and servo throw.You could just have a simple proublme like not getting all of your travel.
