Sorry guys been on vacation, well at home but the wife was off so my free time was very limited, it was all family time......


Glad it's working well.

As always feel free to email me any questions, suggestions or comments, with the new baby I don't get online as much as I'd like so emails are better than pms.

I am running the first tie rod that Lance made and have not had any issues with breakage. However, it is never a bad idea to have a spare...

I set this linkage up on my new Bully build and I gotta say holly crap, simple to set up. I used a 1" belt sander and took my time sanding away the shaft and checking it often. I used the stock Bully pinions and they work fine with a 7950 servo. one small issue I had was the mount sits a bit low and was deflecting off the shock mount. I used a couple small spacers under the servo mount and above the supplied spacer and tada! Perfect. I am going to try to set us some teflon axle sliders to cover the axle, motor and servo just to make em a bit slicker.

Yeah, it's been brutally hot down here lately and I've been putting a few packs a day through mine without issue.

I did, however, kill the Ti gears in my servo........although, no overheating issues.

I have had zero heat issues aswell...and I been running this style steering since the spring in some really hot weather too(100*+)
only thing I notice is easily climbing rocks and ledges that my old steering would get stuck on!! saved me many reverse points in comps as well
this is the steering style to have for a bully that wants make FULL comp capability!
