Further apart increases the amount of Ackermann effect. (Changing the pivot ball location on the steering knuckle can also change the Ackermann effect, but there's not much room to do it on a 1/12 scale car.)
The description in the video is incorrect; moving the balls on the servo forward decreases the Ackermann effect.
From Xray's 1/12th Setup Book
Ackermann can be adjusted by the number of shims that goes between servo saver and ball end.
• MORE shims under the ball end means more Ackermann.
• LESS shims under the ball end means less Ackermann.
So what I metioned above is incorrect, right? So what is stated in the setup book is incorrect.
Thanks a bunch for the comment
