Default tighter steering options

I see where people are swapping steering setups to get rid of slop but are there any that provide tighter turning options?

Not with out changing the CVD's. They are the limiting point, and I am hitting the limit with stock steering. I bind when at full steering lock.

Sad but true.
IDK why this is, the TH turning angle does not appear to be any tighter than other IFS kits that experience no such issues.
That said, I have not measured it accurately to compare angles but it sure seems like the Vaterra CVD is a turd on more than one level.
Mine start to bind long before full knuckle lock and if I do go to full lock it's scary looking and sounding to say the least

You're right. Heres what mine does.

My steering kit will take all the slop out and turn all the way to the stops. The cvd's start to bind much sooner than that.
One day hopefully someone will make a better cvd for the TH.

Irie, I really like the look of the stock cantilever, does your kit work with the stock suspension?

No I did not design it to work with the stock cantilevers.
