do you use the inner hole on the front hub carrier for steering? i did that and it gave me instantly 5-10 more deg of steering throw! i also had to set my TX for 100% on right hand turns and 72% on left hand turns as the steering linkage gets contact with the tailshaft at the front
how do you guys go about this? shim it sits higher?

In regard to the tailshaft contact, I am actually using a turnbuckle instead of the carbon steering plate due to durability and I don't have that problem at all, unless I take a big hit.

but yea those square alloy hop ups are expensive!!! you must of spent a fortune!
also i noticed you advised 4 deg front c hubs does this give us more steering compared to the 2 deg?

Generally the tracks that we race on are bumpy and more camber is good for bumpy tracks. Also, I believe that they are better for rubbers too which is what we race here.
Because I use a turnbuckle instead of the carbon plate, this means that I can alter the ackerman by adjusting the size of the link with the turnbuckle. Because of this, I don't get that close to my front joint because my link is shorter then the carbon steering plate, if you know what I mean. When we catch up sometime, I'll have to show you. That will better explain it.

thanks Gailfrey!!
but for some reason it looks like the middle steering rod is not coming in contact with the front shaft and i looked at your shims on the left hand side that is connected to the left steering arm post. looks like what i did. very strange and it does look like you have full lock to the left as well!!!
beats me!!! lol but thanks! ill be trying to add another shim to see what it does if it has enough thread.

FWIW, I ran on insane traction carpet this weekend and ended up running -2.5 in the front and -2 in the rear with foam tires. I finally got the tires wearing evenly!!!

I think this pic will show what is wrong....
Bet he has used the middle hole on the servo saver rather than crank the horn over and use the end one...
