Steering Mod.

[richardj]

Hi all, something else that may be of interest.

Swap steering knuckle plates side to side. Re-fix underneath knuckle and put ball stub back on top.

Reduces bump steer.

Off to work on a 2wd version now.

Catch you lata.

Let me know thoughts on this one, not had time for much testing with this.

Thanks to Pete at Answer-Rc for the support.

Thanks for sharing, but according to some guys on rctech, who already tried it, it wasn't the best solution as it removed a lot of the steering throw(maximum lock on the inside wheel).

Perhaps it might work on large, open tracks...

This is not a good mod you only get half the amount of steering as it hits the wishbones the bump steer does not really cause a problem and most cars with piviot ball suspension have bump steer

Has anyone tried dremelling the steering post where the ball stud mounts for the servo link? Mine hits the centre shaft before I get full lock (on the outer wheel at least) and I wondered whether to shave some of the post to increase throw?

It shouldn't catch the centre shaft, I've built 2 of these so far with no problem, or I haven't noticed lol

Upon your post I have inspected my car and there is indeed a very very very small marking on the center drive shaft, so yes it must have rubbed in some situations, nevertheless I am pretty sure it is so minimal in that is hasn't affected car behaviour.
