I don't think you are missing anything...

I tried rolling my axle back by changing the upper links but it didn't work the way my truck is setup. My battery didn't fit between the steering servo and the dig servo anymore. Hopefully my C's come in today because I'm really excited to get some more steering out of this thing.

Ok finally got the 20 deg C's on my RC bros steering, it will not work it drags real bad on the servo plate. I had to file down the plate and bent the rc bros tie rod out to clear so some modification is necessary. BUT the steering is awesome!!

Yes and the HR 10* C's throws the Rc brothers high steer arm really close to the rcbrothers servo mount. I also mod my nuckles for more throw.

It would if you use the stock or TT tie rod.

Seems to me that would give the steering alot of toe in. Which the rcbrothers arm is lacking in already.

So the HR C's are 10 additional degrees of caster than stock.......or 10* of caster total (same as stock)??

What is the TT tie rod?

Ok....thanks for the clarification. So then what is the problem using them at the RCBros tie rod?? If they are the same as stock and the RCB tie rod was designed around the stock.....

J there's not a problem useing the HR C's its a perfect fit. The losi 20* throws the rcbro's arm up into the servo plate and want let the knuckles get lock to lock. IMO the rcbro's arm has zero toe out if you bend it it shortens it. You cant shave the arm anymore for clearence because it's thin already. I shave the outside of the losi 20*C's and shave a good bit from the inside of the knuckle. Runing lundsford tierord with 2 washers for toeout and lundsford draglink and stock horn it has crazy wheel throw.

That looks a little better. Did you get a chance to run them yet? Interested in your thoughts on these. Maybe post it in your thread, it has been a little slow lately.
