Mullet1-Check to make sure your servo saver is tight, if hold the servo horn and try and turn the tires, does the cam on the servo saver move easily? If so with the saver under load when turning, it will not turn full lock and make it seem like it does not steer. Also check your end points on your radio.
Does the shorter rack (Ackerman right?) make the wheels turn more? Is that why there is a short and long rack in losa4412 package?

Cam doesn't move and end points are set properly.

I just read my post above and realized in take myself way too serious. Lol.. Any way I did something I never had before. The inner bearing on the front diff pinion was pushed through the housing down and to the right about 1mm.

Been trying to figure out why my truggy isn't turning especially on power (even off power too).
Completely new steering hardware and Ackerman. 12degree caster block and spindles. EPA set properly. Aluminum servo arm and saver set towards the tight side. 2 degrees negative camber all around.
From the pic below you can see the wheels come about 1/3 to 1/2 an inch from touching the arms. I've read ALOT of this thread and many people state how good the truggy turns. Many people say how their wheels touch their arms and a few where the wheels touch the turnbuckles. It just seems my wheels aren't getting full turn. It's turning radius at low speed is wide.
What am I missing?

you can grind the steering knuckles and caster block a little to get more steering angle. i had to do the same with the inclined blocks. even grinded the palastic ones too. you dont want too much steering angle though as it will make the car suddenly make a U turn.

I ordered the stock casters and carriers to see if the aluminum ones I have are the issue. I had even dremeled the inside of the knuckles where it touches the carrier.
any other thoughts?

Yep. Sounds like you have the Inclined spindles/knuckles which are black and aluminum.
They do not go with those castor blocks. They need to be paired with the black aluminum castor blocks.
The silver set (12*) of castor blocks can go with the plastic spindles (2.0 not 3.0) but not with the black aluminum spindles.

With the hopups this is one of the best turning truggies Ive ever driven.
Is your servo traveling enough. Ive seen this several times where people dont extend the travel of the servo when needed.
You sure its the right
