I believe Adrian was talking about bump toe out, no static toe out.

Thanks Jason and Adrian, I am the kind of person that need every detail of why this changes that to understand it, I have put together all of your posts on Dampening, Reactive Castor, Servo Mounting, and Bump toe and Ackerman. If you give me your email I will send you guys a copy to proof.

Thanks Tim, also do you which servo fits the Hyperfom 12 if you use angled servo mounts, I have a futaba 9650 and it is too wide.

Cool. My wife is starting to wonder why I keep carring the credit card around, soon I'll be able to say I already put it back in the safe.

I run the same servo just use the assoc mounts so you can slide it over to clear the arms

Yeah, I was talking bump toe not static toe. Brian Kinwald explained the dynamics if bump toe to me at the 2001 On Road Nats. I used to think like Jason about bump toe but after Brian explained it 5 diffrent ways I finally got it.

Servo position or steering rack position and how it relates to ackerman is absent from that description. In our 1/12th scales they all pretty much use the same angled steering arm. According to that description then they would all have the same ackerman. However there is a difference between an angled and flat servo in ackerman even with the same angled steering arm.

i dont know what he said to you but when you have bump toe in,the outside wheel does turn in more but the inside wheel doesnt turn enough for the car to rotate so it makes the car momentarily push until the suspension returns.the 2 wheels work against eachother.this is something that was reccomended by a well respected pro at this years nationals to stop the car from drilling the nose.

I was just giving more info on how Ackerman works in genrel, as the post that the guy was showing was more about toe in and out if you can find a write up on angled and flat please add it to the post!
