Hot Bodies D413 1/10 4WD Buggy
#9991
Sorry if this a 'Rookie' question but it does involve the D413. Newbie here but have built a few kits.
Just finished the D413 build and having one issue. When I pull the throttle all good but when I turn all the way to the left or right, the wheels/hexes stop/rub. I checked everything (castors inside and outside, CVs, pins, etc) and it all seems good ('L' and 'R' are correct). Is it possible that my servo/link is allowing the steering to go too far to the left or right? I have a savox 1258 servo, the HB aluminum horn and the stock servo link. I have a video.
Thanks

Nitro2be you're the man. You were close. I had the A and B rods correct but the mm on the turnbuckles were to long. The manual calls for 12.5mm. I had them 15mm each. That 5mm total made a huge difference. I backed them both down to 12.5mm and it works great. When I pull throttle and go all the way to the right or left. The hexes/wheels spin freely. Thx dude

Also Don't forget to set end point adjustment on radio. EPA. Longer turn buckles on steering rods will give toe in on front . You want a little short to give small amount of toe out. Stock should be almost perfect

Alot of it is just personal feel. I run the #5's in all conditions as it helps smooth out the steering for me. I even have my servo speed in my radio turned down some as well due to the high speed servo.
I am sure if your servo isn't super fast, the #4's would be perfectly fine, but for me the #4's are too twitchy, even in low-medium traction surfaces.

Thanks for the setup!
Can anybody please explain me, why David is choosing Ackermann #5 with the stock chassis on med grip carpet?
I would understand it with +4mm or +6mm chassis, cause #5 is less aggressive.
I really donīt get it, with #5 is also off power steering not so good like with #4 or #3 Ackermann.
Or m I totally wrong?
Iīve tested Ackermann #3,#4 & #5 the last view months on a med/large 1:10 clay, low grip and dusty outdoor track
with tight infield sections. Also with stock chassis and Schelle carbon +4mm.
For me personally is Schelle +4mm and Ackermann #4 the best choice on my track.
Thanks a lot!
cheers

is there a difference between the shelle +4 chassis and the red workshop +4 chassis?

Hi.
Does anyone know why my D413 looses itīs ability to drive in a straight line, and i have to adjust my left/right steering every 3 minutes ? I found that the 3x18 screws in front holding the arm mount can easily bent, and that way make the car lose it's straight line, but my car does it a lot without those screws being bent. I also checked my servo to see if it jumps a few teeth. Iīm driving without a servo saver (don't remember if there even is a servo saver in the kit). Also i have a problem with the car not turning sharp enough. When i adjust endpoints, the servo (Savox SB2274), makes this buzzing sound when i reach 70%, and i would like to reach 80-85%. Does it help to install the #4 instead ?
