| Quick build tip. Steering linkage.
I built my TK by the manual and ended up with a steering linkage that was too long. The TK has long and short rod ends and the linkage step shows a short end and a long end for the steering linkage. I simply swapped the long end to a short and everything is perfect for centering the servo and getting full throw left and right. Hope this helps future builders. |

Yep I did the same If you dont do this you end up with much less torque/leverage at the very end of travel in one direction because the servo arm gets very close to parallel with the drag link. |

Hey thanks for this I didn’t clue in to the error on my build. The arm would hit the chassis before full throw. (Not that I’m using it anyways) I set my radiolink rc6gs to 75% d/r (using reefs444) and removed the funky epa config I had set up previously compensating for the rod being to long.

Glad to hear this is helping people. I have enjoyed the TK tremendously. I might purchase another one...but I also want to try other chassis brands too. The TK works so dang good that I can't imagine something being better...unless it's along the competition route. LoL. |

What?!?!?! Oh dang. A friend of mine said he back-ordered one...waited three weeks then canceled his order. I guess I'm glad I pulled the trigger then. Maybe they are updating manuals and parts and it's just taking a while. |
