Default tight turnin

I was wondering what is a good setup for axial axles to get them to turn more. My scaler doesn't turn very tight, at all. Before I start sinking money I was hoping to get some advice. Thanks!

the clockable alow you to roll your axle fwd to change pinion angle where you driveshaft goes into the axle or rotate back and your wheels will steer at an up angle vs flat if you get what i mean

clockable gives you the ability to change caster. 8 degree changes king pin angle to reduce scrub.

All these put together will get you turnin so tight, you'll rub your links!

Forgot to mention over drive gears in the front axle, or under drive gears in the rear axle. (Both if you want)
They will help you turn sharper and climb better.

Copied this text from a Hotwheels000 post. Thx Dev

It will add caster to your current set up. Which in turn will make your rig more stable at higher speeds,allow you to adjust proper pinion angle while keeping caster in the system.Another benefit is with the inclination and caster your tires will not get into your links or shocks as much if at all if that has been an issue. You also gain the strength benefits of the aluminum.

So basically, you can clock your axle to get your driveline up and away from the rocks, all while still keeping a good steering angle. (It wont steer into the ground).
