If your servo has enough torque the rack should not hurt your servo...with that being said I'm not saying it can't happen but chances are your servo had very low torque is what I'm guessing..which servo was it?

had a buddy here at the track with the same servo with the stock bell crank and blew the servo. From what he told me he contacted one of the distributors here locally and they said the lowpro servo hasnt been holding up in offroad cars. He put a 1257 in and has had no problems, I'v also run a 1257 for the last 8 months or so with a glued servo saver and had no problems.

Plenty it could have just been a faulty servo...electronics just fail at times

my car for the most part, drives great. But I have a ton of low power/corner entry steering, but mid power/corner exit my car pushes more than i like. I thought i was over-driving it, but i even turned down the boost just out of curiosity, it still pushes hard. the only way my car wont go wide is if i go thru with minimal speed, which is killing my lap times. I'll just type out my setup on here

Front End:
Losi Reds
32.5wt
5 limiters inside shock
RPM 2 stage piston #2
Shocks mounted inner holes on tower and arms
Ballstuds inner holes, 2 washers
2 bumpsteer spacers
30* caster blocks
inline-axles
Camber -1* and Toe -1*
Ride height 23
camber link mounted middle of caster block

Rear End:
Losi Whites
27.5 wt
2 limiters inside shock
RPM 2 stage piston #3
Shocks mounted inner holes on tower and arms
Ballstuds inner holes 3 washers
Standard b44 rear hubs camber link mounted in the middle
Camber -1*
3* toe block
2* antisquat
ride height 22


Ride heights might be different, thats what I can remember offhand.

1/4oz rear triangles
3/4 oz servo tray
1/2 oz infront of toeblock(temporary till i get ballast weight)
Avid bell Crank
+8 Chassis

Finnisher/FTW body
It is still possible that i might be over driving the car, but i see other peoples b4.1s and they seem way more planted than mine. I havent had any of the top drivers use my car yet so I can't confirm if it is just me.

I typically use Barcode golds up front. I'm running the same tires as everyone else, so I am not too convinced its a tire issue.

I need to find a balance in the steering, I have a TON of low end steering, i'd like a little less, but pick up more on mid-high/corner exit. Bare with me, i've only been in this for a 6 months or so, and more or less, still know very little about these things. One of the fast locals told me to stiffen up the read end, so i threw on losi yellows, I did get some steering, but it was even more low end, and hardly more on exit. And the back end became washy too, so I went back to losi whites.




Quick thing on roll center, I understand the general gist of it, as far as the rear goes. Can someone elaborate roll-center to me with the front end, and playing around with more/less ballstud washers.

Thanks for the help guys

Did you remember to reset you end points on your radio after you put the rack on??? This is very critical. Now that The steering is direct it is crucial that you have no extra steering throw at all.

I turn my radio's steering EPA down to where the steering is locked out on the suspension (which is full throw) then dial it back one maybe two clicks.
