I don't understand how you guys don't have steering from a B4? When I had one for a week I was trying my best to take steering out of that thing and you guys are searching for it, just crazy.

I've done everything short of adding droop in the rear. 3x the limiters in the front, added weight, hubs are up. I'm going to try moving the shocks in on the arms, and replacing my top plate.

Great racing last nite guys! Special props to Puma for holding me off in the 17.5 A main, you beat me fair and square. I think you had more punch or top end. I couldn't drive any faster than I was. Wish I didn't have work this weekend, would love to race everybody for gold. Next time maybe. Check Youtube later tonight after 8pm for videos I shot with my Gopro of the 2wd Mod Buggy Bmain, 4wd SC Amain, and 2wd 17.5 SC Amain. It's under JackBonhommeVideos.

Rear hubs back, battery forward, Rear shocks out on the top mount all increase steering.

Thanks for the help guys. Went through the car and replaced a striped top plate and went with the 30* caster blocks. Night and day difference.
