You could figure out what the tight/sloppy part is by removing the horn from the servo and taking the linkages apart piece by piece. I just did the same thing today on my OFNA buggy, steers like a dream again.

Please use punctuation. I can't make sense of what you're on about. It's spelt "steering" not sterring.

dude, are you serious?

I dont mean to be an asshole but how old are you?

is it your servo thats weak?

maybe something needs to be oiled? or a screw is way too tight? or a bearing(s) in our steering arms are seized?

well im trying to get help and the people are telling me how to type and why dose it matter how old i am i have a jr z9000t servo but the way you have to tighten the linkage it starts to bind but i think im done with this thread because i havent had reall any help ill just make a all alumnium linkage i have a bridgeport and a big lathe so ill just make one

The JR9000T is more than strong enough to turn your truggy, there is obviously a problem somewhere else, first thing I would check would be your servo saver. Disassemble it, clean it, give everything a good once-over, and reassemble. If the problem persist, take all the screws out of the draglink, there will be bushings there, make sure that they are not excessively worn, again clean and reassemble. IF you are still having a problem just keep moving down the line, the steering systems in these cars are not complex, its easy to find the problem, it just takes a lil bit of effort.

thank you now sombody is saying something that makes sense but anyways i know what the problem is its the ackerman and if you tighten the nut that hold it together the system starts to bind im just looking for a way to make one that work without all the slop but i found on a site that you can use a traxxas jato 58mm turnbuckle and get some screws that fit nice and tight and im sure that i can figure out the rest but i just need to get the turnbuckle and then i will go from there

yeah me again.

how old are you?

can you give a better explanation of whats going on? (please remember punctution) just play around with it and you should be able to feel/see where the problem is.

Man, Im not sure what to tell you, all you can do, is take it apart and look at each part. That or replace the whole damn thing. Not much more help anybody can give you.

why dose everybody want to know how old i am. that shouldnt matter. if you google muggy steering mod or something like that. a lot of people have had the same problem as im having. but i just cant find anybody that has made a kit to fix it.

superdave2

iTrader: (3)

well im just looking for a kit that somebody has made up with all the stuff that i would need. ive heard of somebody using a traxxas jato 58mm turnbuckle. but i would like to get all the part numbers that i need so i can order everything at once. butlike i said i know what the problem is its just the fact that it cant be fixed or else the the steering system will bind
