Default Any zero Ackerman knuckle options?

I've done a fair amount of searching and can't find anything. I've never liked the steering geometry.

Any leads would be appreciated.

Hi. The outside wheel should be turned less, since it is rolling around a wider radius than the inside wheel. The ackerman of the hammers is spot on in this regard. Its where you have front set steering arms = negative ackerman (wraith for instance) that it is a problem, and zero ackerman knuckles are desirable.

You are right. I was thinking the opposite for some reason. Doesn't make me any happier with the turning radius though. Guess I'm use to my 50+ degrees of turning on my comp crawlers!

There are other ways to compensate the TH lack of steering, one is the mod kit to turn the two speed trasmission into an underdrove for the rear wich you can turn on and off
