Default turning radius

Any ideas on how to increase the turning radius of the HPI Crawlerking. I would like to turn sharper since most of my time is spent running around the yard.

Open up the diffs if your kit came with spider gears put them in. If you only have 1 set put it in the front.

If you want to turn sharper, then you would want to decrease the turning radius.

Does the front axle use dogbones? If so, you can grind down the cup for more clearance. Also, make sure that your servo is giving full throw....

2 other options...

• Does anyone make a dig for that truck?
• You could make it 4WS.
