TLR TEN-SCTE 2.0 Kit Thread

the guys I've had to help with their trucks usually had something funny going on with their front ends. usually something wasn't assembled correctly after a rush diff service or they didn't build the servo to anchorman arm correctly.
I actually lengthened that arm so it would make contact and flex the chassis, then I dialed out the steering in the radio so it wouldnt make contact. I gained so much steering (especially usable steering travel) over the box set up I had to bump my front spring rate to take some of it away.

I've tried a few diff lengths of servo steering arms. I've grinded ends of ball joints on them and into carbon Ackerman bar. I have the steering as far as it can go. I've even grinded the outside edge of a arms a bit so at full lock they don't rub the back side of the wheels. some brands of wheels need grinding to run this extreme steering. place truck on ground like a g pad test as real cars test apply light throttle the truck turns a super tight radius apply med throttle it holds it. turning to right its wider radius apply throttle and it pushes way farther right immediately. what mms length servo arm do you use. every 2.0 I come across I use the g pad test on. it's a common issue

Why is this truck sold out everywhere?

edit: I really like a pushy truck that I have to overdrive.... i really had to dial steering out and no one at my local tracks ever had steering issues with 2.0s... especially once they started tuning with end points.

I am going to reset my EPA on my steering with the truck setting on the ground like suggested, I think right now I have it down both ways close to 50% or less and both sides are not the same. I hope this gains me some more steering, on right hand turns it just pushes a lot more than it does to the left if I remember correctly. As far as my setup goes I have 30wt oil in all 4 shocks w/#3 pistons. stock sway bars, stock rear toe and droop. battery in middle, black springs on the front and orange on rear. My shock positions are stock manual positions. The truck jumps nice and comes out of the corners nice, it may just be my driving style and slowing down to much on entering the corners to, as I might not be staying on the power as needed, just because I am still learning to drive off road. So Maybe as my comfort level and skill improve the corner handling might improve as well. I'd hate to drop the springs any as the truck already feels real soft, and I'm afraid if I go softer it will bottom out more on the landings which is not a good thing either.

I am stopping them when they hit something, and then 1 or 2 more so that there is no bind. But I did it on the stand with the tires hanging and not under load so to speak like someone else suggested.

I cannot do it at even same numbers each way because they hit at different points and I want as much as possible, as our track is high bite, and usually a technical track layout.

just use the losi 2.0 steel balls and slightly more beefy rod ends. The alum is just a bad idea in the sc world of 5 to 6 lb trucks. Its worth the few extra grams of weight.
Hacker..I cant tell ya how many people Ive met with turning issues with 2.0 Do you have any parts that make it easy to get more tight turning and less push with it..
where is your battery positioned to get that weight balance you posted with the scale?

You always want to set end points on a vehicle at ride height. That is typically when arms are level and you have the most throw out of all of the part in the steering system.
