K1 LACK OF STEERING

rapidrubberwill · #1 13-05-2013

first run out with my k1 this weekend and it feels like it has a lack of steering, i went from a sx2 to the k1 and its better in every way just needs a wider turning circle or feels that way.my sx2 was very quick to turn and this feels lazy.
i am running the same servo and had the speed turned down on my spektrum on the sx 2 and its all the way up on the k1. i also run the ally blocks and went from the 7.5d front block sx 2 to the 10d front block k1 could this have somthing to do with it or is this how they are.

7.5 degree blocks will give you more initial steering, put them back on and go from there.

i have just been reading and the 7.5 give more initial turn and the kit comes with plastic 10deg so i will give that a try

That's interesting, my sons SX2 is too twitchy for him and came with 7.5 deg blocks. So from this it sounds like switching to 10.5 deg will calm it down a bit.

Add 2mm behind the ball stud on the steering rack.
