U.S. TLR team driver Dustin Evans came over for one of the EOS rounds and performed well using the car mid-motor for the first time, and also made the podium on a clay track in the U.S. at the Cactus Class in mid-motor.

Does this part change the akerman?

If its another mod to reduce the steering then its a good spend.

I notice a huge drop in rear grip if i run too much front tyre, so any help is a bonus to the car

Id like to try this!

My thoughts exactly

That's what I am getting at That perhaps people will stop going on about the motor location now.

r/c racers see Ackermann as a hole adjustment on a steering system...

The 22 rack is not adjustable, has limited Ackermann effect and works linear compared to the radial action of spindles.

you probably need to understand the whole concept between compared wheel angle across the steering range to appreciate the way it all works and how this will benefit.

Basically dude, this will make a difference in a good way

obviously it is down to being able to dial it in with the rest of the geometry with spindle choice and caster angle/kick up

The main reason 4mm trailing spindles and moving castor block 2mm back improves the steering is because of the small change on Ackermann it has

We're almost there with a bellcrank steering system which doesn't involve moving the servo back. We're just testing the pre-production kits at the moment, so if anyone wants to try one let me know.

RRP should come out around £35.

That information just confirms my previous thoughts... I will wait for the Akula conversion...

I thought of doing this few month ago with RB6 crank arms, and make my own rank.. i tried this few month ago... it doesnt work too well due my crappy metal working lol.

Not being funny but Darren could put a shoe box in a national A final

There were indeed more posts: there has been some work on the website and a lot posted after roughly 21:00 seems gone?

Have just read that on Jimmy's post, I always start from the oldest and work up, hence I saw this before the announcement...

[caciqueconnection]

No he's just VERY talented. And has recently been seen at the nationals with a new front end that makes his front links even shorter

Any real reports on performace with this mod yet?

Thinking of digging the 22 out
