Hey Pro 4 ppl, i am just gettin my pro 4 ready for its virgin run this weekend, and was chekin to make sure teh car had equal lock both ways. obviously this can be adjusted via end point adustment.

\but basicaly teh problem is i cant get equal lock left to right

right lock i can get upwards of 24 deg
left lock i can only get like 11 possible less

What im asking is where abouts do you pro 4 guys have our servo arm.. directly up? leanin towards centre of chassis? or leanin out of the chassis

once i have the servo arm positiond, should i tune the length of the steering arm length?

because i can acheive good lock boht ways.. or i can see how i could.. but then the ackerman would be screwed side to side

maybe im overly confusing myself.. i dunno?

Most ppl do not have problems with the steering, except perhaps the knuckle hitting the hubs but thats probably too much steering for you own good

Helps to have a caliper handy to measure the linkages/turnbuckles.

Remember to try to center the steering as much as possible and center the servo with the transmitter and electronics on before mounting the servo arm onto the servo. At least you get a nice centralized starting point to work out the EPAs.

Carbon_Fibre3:
You may need to cheat the servo arm slightly to the left side of the car. At neutral, my servo arm is a few degrees past 90* toward the left side of the car.

hello, I am confused on what springs to use. Hpi has many types of springs. I purchaced the Pro 4 pro springs, In Kevins setup
he uses HPI Green, but HPI has 2 different set of green springs
is it possible if you could put HPI part number next to the spring it
makes it easer to determine what spring to use. I would like to
use HPI spring but they have so many that it is kind of confusing for me.

Thanks
