I may have a small caliper, but I've got enough servo torque to steer my car without linkage attached. Just apply a little Isaac Newton...
happy T-day Perfesser! The reason for the upgrade is that in modified class at big races where the bite is very high the cars were generating so much side load that they were overpowering the servos. Not a consideration for 99% of us, but thats why the change. I use the 951 now not because I need to but because it makes me look cool
