the new FT ackermann bar has an extra rearward hole. using this rearward hole quickens initial steering response, and the car reacts faster to steering input.
So I can not see how the new ackerman bar is slowing down your steering

This is a long thread, so I'm sure this has been asked before....
I need an SC truck that uses the SC10 Wheel offset, reason being I'm waiting on the Caster SC 4x4 a bit later this year so I am in need of a truck to last til then, SC4x4 is rather popular here.
I really like the original SC10 4x4 because it has the stick pack configuration, I will be running a Castle SV2 style controller and a 1410 motor.
I heard the steering rack is weak on the orginal truck and hear saddle packs are better, is it that much of a difference?

No problems w/ the stock steering rack, I've been beating on mine for over a year up at Fastlane and other places and haven't broke a single part.
The saddle packs, IMO, arent' really necessary. I've got 5oz., about the same weight the exotek chasiss weighs, on the rx/esc side of the truck, balances it side/side perfectly....

For whoever was asking about Ackerman positions.
forward hole=least amount of Ackerman. Ackerman increases as you move the ball stud rearward.
More
(Bigger difference in steering angle between the two font wheels) More Ackermann makes the steering more consistent, and smoother.
It just feels right, also at low speeds and in tight turns.
Less
(Smaller, or no difference in steering angle between the two font wheels) Less Ackermann makes the steering more agressive at high speeds.
The car turns in more agressively.
It doesn't work well when either traction or cornering speeds are low.
