Thanks man! Good pics! It was a good comp today.... I still need to practice quite a bit with the sticks. Gotta pull apart the front axle to see what broke....my guess is that main gear. |

Well, I've been playing with the steering setup and I need some opinions on which one you guys think will be stronger. The current setup: The new setup: I am not sure if having the servo horn at the top will expose it to breakage, but I also wasn't comfortable with the bottom of the servo case sticking up in the first version.... What do you guys think? |

I vote new, lower cg and protect the servo itself. |

I like the new set up. It protects the servo better |

Haha.....thanks man! Yeah, I really like the wheels as well! There is so much adjustability with them to get the correct offset....

gotta watch those 3mm screws with that much stand off coming off your knuckles...those things will bend real quick! Other than that...looks great. I gotta get busy and start hammering out some steering kits. |

Yeah.....that was my only concern with this setup. I do have some 4mm of the same lenght. If these bolts show some weakness, then I'll just tap the knuckle to accept 4mm.... Also, currently my tie rod is sleeved aluminum....at this length, it is weak as hell....I can bend it with my hand. I should have some stainless tubing in this week to build some real links.... |

Nope, sorry. The next time I pull the tire I'll try to remember to weigh them. You want a weight with all of the rings and hardware, correct?

Yes, Please. It would be nice to know. That way I can deside weather or not to get a set.

Well, after noticing a bit of flex in the lower links, I stepped them up a notch: I mounted the canti link mount a bit higher on the link to raise the GC a bit. I'll get the other two mounted up soon. Thanks to Josh (Landon4) for cutting these for me! |
