I will try to get a digital camera from a friend soon.Other than the evo steering parts you need a couple bearings for the evo servo saver and I made an aluminum piece to move the evos input on the servo saver from 90 degrees from the output to 180 degrees.It took me a couple trys to get the perfect set up.I tapped a couple holes in the aluminum to bolt it to the stock servo input and another for the pivot ball that ties to the servo which is mounted in the std location.

The best bearing for this system would be an oil-impregnated bronze bushing.

lastresort- it would be great if you could show us how you gave the g4 the evo steering. i know that many people have had a lot of hassle with the g4 system and valuable time and money could be saved. thanks

The steering system is a little tricky to set up. However, once you get it setup, there is no slop and it is very smooth.
Just take your time with that part of the car. Assemble everything else, then come back to the steering system. Take a look at this post, all the way at the bottom.

kmac, aggdaddy, thanks
kmac- thanks for the step by step illistration and the pics, followed them, and i now have a bulletproof steering system, that i must say is way better than the stock................
aggdaddy-thanks for the link, gave me some helpful hints.
also was wondering if anyone has had any trouble w/ the throttle linkage(the ball cup system)servo to the "t", and if there was a similar fix......the stock one i had, came off fairly easy.......

I'm still using the stock ball cups for the throttle and brake system. Works ok for me.

d.a.d.d.4.. I had the same throttle linkage problem with both my G4's... I just used a small 2mm threaded screw to fix the problem...
