Unfortunately, my first race day was this last Sunday and the rack seized up on me. I was using the aluminum slider. When I got home I replaced it with the stock slider. The servo is more than powerful enough, I have the servo horn lined up parallel to the rack and I'm even using JRXS Type-R captured ball ends but it froze turning right after a few laps. The servo movement was free of binding, my EPA was set properly and, disconnected from the servo, the slider was totally free.

After playing with moving the servo forwards and back in the mounts and even raising the ballcup that connects the tierod to the slider I think I have the problem figured out. When you are turning left the servo arm PUSHES the tierod LEFT and DOWN. I think the DOWN part causes the binding. When turning right the servo arm PULLS the tierod RIGHT and SLIGHTLY UP.

Anyways, I hope I have the problem fixed. It works fine in the yard and the street but the track is too far away to go to test it out. (Any advice is appreciated!)
