Hmmm -- in the Rear Motor configuration, the rear of the battery tray is blocked by the "web" in the battery tray/bulkhead... No access to the anti-squat shims, etc... Are people cutting out the bottom of this web or what?
From looking at my chassis, the ONLY way to change anti-squat on an unmodified rear motor car is to virtually disassemble the entire rear half of the car... BUMMER!
Any help or advice is appreciated, as I need to change mine. (the kit 1 degree has me seeking more forward bite, so I want to change to the Evan's setup 2.5 degrees...
Thanks in advance.

Just acts like I need a taller horn

FWIW- you can't use a longer horn on the 22 unless you hack the bulkhead up pretty bad, so abandon that idea and figure out what's wrong with it.

Dmatter- just to be sure, try rebinding to a completely different model # on your 4PK. Something like model 10- one you've never used... Make sure all the settings are zeroed out and EPA is 120 on steering.

Tech Regular
i agree with that.. here is the problem thought sometimes you need to be able to push it in racing scenarios and if you cant push it then what good is the car in actual racing conditions?
and to answer your other question i was running emulsion shocks from the get go (no bladder)

I cant get enough servo throw to get lock to lock. I run a 4pk with epa at 120% and DR is at 100% Buggy needs more throw. I trimmed 2mm off one of my ball cups for the steering link not much help at all. Seems like I need a sevo horn about 1/4 inch taller helllllllllllllp.

wow you guys are crazy...
if u push something with a pencil it is short so it can only be pushed the length of your arm plus pencil length. if you push it with a bat it will go ur arm length plus the bat length. (saying that you do not shove it and let it remain touching the bat or pencil... like the horn is connected to the steering)
Yes I realize it wont be at 90 degrees. I realize that the servo will only go a certain degree. but the added length and the alingment will give the needed extra bit of wheels throw he needs.
he shortened it and has enough to one side but not the other... lengthening it will give the needed throw to that side that is needed. I have a 3pk now and my epa is at 95 and 90 forget which side is which and dr is anywhere between 85 and 100 depending on the tires.
By shortening it you gave it not enough throw. by shortening it again you will get even less... seriously just try it longer... youre willing to take more off, why not add some length to it?

He already has equal throw both directions, just not enough.
He does not need more throw in one direction only, otherwise what you have described, changing the length of the link would work.
Dmatter, make absolutely sure you have the rack centered, servo centered with the radio at 0 on all trims not just subtrim and get that servo horn on at or as close as possible to 90* then make sure the link fits on exactly without moving either the servo or the rack.
I'm pretty sure you already did all of this and if you did then you are at the mercy of the radio's maximum travel adjusment allowed and if it's 120% and it still is not enough then you are hosed without being able to fit a longer servo horn on but that really shouldn't be necessary.
Dyno Dan did state however that this car's steering setup will use most if not all of your radio's travel, those wheels turn pretty friggin far.
My radio uses more than 120%, DX3R.
