Lightbulb Tired of bending stering rods ?

stock stering rods get bent fair ly if you climb larger rocks. To fix this just mount the left stering nuckle on the right side and the right on the left. now they face backwards. movethe rods to the out side hole and turn the servo mounting posts backwards and mount the servo backwards.you may have to shimthe servoONLY TRIED THIS WITH THE STOCK SUSPENTIONGEOMETETRY AND STOCK LINKS.

Behind the axle steering won't work with the way most people mount their lower links.

Or, you could use a 3/8" aluminum square bar as a tie rod. It won't bend...ever

1/4" aluminum solid rod link works good too. Home made of course. $2 for 36" stick at Homo Dept.
