Scx10 suspension/steering questions

[Motobomber]

I installed the strc cms and panhard kit on my scx10. And just got a pair of 110mm rc4wd king shocks. They work great besides the fact the when the suspension is fully extended the wheels turn to the right. I'm not too educated on suspension and steering and I wanted to know if there is anyway to fix this? Would I have to mount the servo back on the axle to keep the shocks on the truck? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

what you are describing is bump steer. What you need to do to fix it is make sure that these two links are the same length (the drag link and panhard link):

The panhard kit in the picture is the vanquish kit, and the two links are the same length. I'm not sure if that is the case with the STRC kit but it could be. The reason why both links have to be the same length is that when the suspension compresses/ extends, the steering link will push outward because of the difference in length and cause the truck to steer.

They also need to be as close to parallel with each as possible. I run the Locked Up RC CMS and the geometry is great. So I can't speak directly to the STRC kit…

x2 to the comments about making sure the drag link and panhard are the same length and parallel. But even at that, 110mm is very long for an SCX10 and will probably create geometry issues at full extension in some form or another regardless of how good your setup is. My suggestion would be to get the basic geometry as good as you can and then limit suspension travel so that you don't get unwanted issues at full extension. Good luck!
