Steering arm issue -
Have everything in there and bolted up. I'm running an Associated XP1015 servo.
When I try and go both ways to full lock, its looking like I have more left turn than I do right turn. I get about 3/4 of the way and then its as if I'm fighting through the servo saver. THis is by hand, not using the transmitter yet. Just seems like I should have full throw since the servo itself has plenty of movement left, but its binding up somewhere.
I have the 4-3-2 spacers in and I've checked to make sure arm is clearancing the plastic.
Anyone have this issue? Tried searching for "steering" and didn't come up with anything.

I removed the one screw that was on the side of the ring gear and now she spins freely even with all the screws fully tightened. I'd have to say that was my issue, that the button head of the screw(silver/chrome screw) was hitting the ring gear.
Would have never though that could be the issue!

Alot of the Team guys running the KO Propo 30103 Power servo.
http://www.amain.com/product_info.ph...o-High-Voltage Extremely smooth and powerful servo, I like it alot in the GT.
Other options for 6v application would be Savox 1283
http://www.amain.com/product_info.ph...eel-Gear-Servo
A little more info on your electronics would help but either of these will work. I've gotten about a season worth of hard driving out of the 1283 which aligns with what others have seen. The KO runs and lasts way longer.

Don't worry about the shims unless you are really adimate on running them. If that's the case you'll have to add shims to both sides and then place it in the car. Check for tightness and add shims as needed. This will require taking the diff in and out of the case multiple times.
Either way you are pretty safe, enjoy the kit!

Aluminum C-hub
Anyone have an issue with the aluminum c-hubs rubbing the rims at full steering lock? I just installed them and noticed they rub on top. Sweep rims. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks

You will need to grind off the top backside it. Kind of at an angle

Same thing happened to me, you can take the grinding tool of your choice and round it off. Try not to get too crazy to where you damage the integrity of the hub. I barely took any off and it clears fine for me, good luck!
