show me where you got the 18t pulley's, shortened belts, a rediculous 88t spur and where the heck did you find apinion that size.

I have a setup station and i want to measure steering throw on the out side wheel (as i heard this is where to measure it)

can any one tell me in detail how to get 20 degrees throw on the outside wheel, as even at maximum throw mine is at about 17 degrees?

You may want to check the ackerman.

Those are the shims under the ball studs which connect the steering links to the servo saver. (2 x 2mm shims ie 4mm total) is usually common under each ball stud.

Does that make sense?

18T pulleys and belts came from Horizon, spur from my LHS, pinions from Stormer's i think.

I have checked ackerman, toe , all linkage positions, its all as per the standard asphelt setup on the hb website. And the epa on transmitter is set to maxium phisicaly posible (ie the steering hub/knuckle is hitting its limit....

I was told that i should set it up with about 20 degrees throw on the outside wheel, and that the maxium posible is around 28 degrees....
