Servo Saver... again
 
I installed the new (long) servo saver lever last night, what a pain, and after an hour of adjusting the rod I got it... I think. I have the arm mounted 1 tooth forward on the servo with the rod around 41.5mm and the lever is centered.

Sound good so far?

Now my question is how far should the wheels turn? I have the end-points set to 100% and it seems fine. Is there a degree I should be setting it to? I checked the throw with the old lever before I took it apart and it was 30 to the right and 25 to the left. I guess I didn't have it quite right the first time. No wonder the car didn't turn very well.

Thanks

On Hudy my weels turn (70%) the same 18 deegres left 18 right.
Is this enough? Or should I make more movement?

Less is better.. just make sure you have enough steering while racing on the line.

Is anybody using A.B.S. under steering or at all?

I set my end point so that with full throw there is no binding in the driveshafts. Then while driving I tune the dual rate to the amount of steering I need for the setup/track. That way I know I can always use full dual rate without the suspension or drivetrain binding.

Just out of curiosity, what is the degree of your steering throw? Are you using the long lever? I would like to have something to compare to. I run on a small tight track so steering is a must. I would have a very difficult time driving if I only had 18 degrees.

I agree with you that 18 degrees sounds on the low side. What Julius said is best because on one hand you want enough steering, on the other you don't want to overdo it and bleed off too much speed round a turn.

damn! am sorry but is it that hard for someone to post a pic of the lola bumper on the 710. i would like to see it on the car.i dont need to know the information about it i know this already i just wanna see some pictures. and its kinda hard to go back all the way to page 398 i dont even think it was out yet when we were on page 398 because they were talking about it around the mid 400s.

FW-05RR 10-22-2004 06:34 PM

I estimate it will take someone over an hour to click back to page 398 someone help this guy out isn't that what we are here for:o

kreidel 10-22-2004 06:41 PM

Man....you want these guys to wipe your butt to? They gave you the freaking page number. It takes time to post pictures...about as much time as it is for you to thumb back and see that picture. That is just totally rude to get all upset and then complain about someone not doing something that is easier for you to do then it is the person you are asking for help.

baller360 10-22-2004 07:56 PM

my bad guys i didnt mean to come across like that. all i ment is that instead of me having to go back all the way to page 398 to look for a picture, i was asking if someone who already has the picture could post it so i could see it am not asking you guys to go back in the thread and look for it for me, do that myself but if anyone who has it already can they post it thats it. and btw the loloa bumper came out afer page 398 so i doubt it would be on that page. once again i apologize if i sounded like if i was asking you guys to go through all those pages to look for it for me and its not a few pages is allot we on 500 thats page 398. and i doubt it would take someone an hour to post a picture i done it before and it only took me a minute.
