Do you tend to then use the steering turnbuckles in a more conventional position, rather than swept back? So that they clear the screw heads on the top of the new suspension arms. Or was this just Josh's preference?
Hi Herminator,

I'm not really sure I understand your question. The tie-rods clear everything very easily whether swept back or not. The front suspension is designed so you can run the tires right down to the rim...even the smaller JACO size rim. The tie-rods never come close to hitting anything.

Josh had Shoe Goo'ed his servos in the cars before he got to the Denver race. We would've liked them just a little more forward, but it really wasn't an issue at all.

I hope that answers your question.

Have a great day.-Bruce
