well i have become increasingly irritated with the steering on my new berg tuber. i just cant get it dialed in to where i like it. It has me very frustrated. So far the only thing i don't like about this truck!
If i use the tie rod on top of the knuckles with a drag link from the servo to the knuckle, i cannot get full steer left and right because the servo horn isn't long enough to throw the full steering. I can't use a longer servo arm unless i put the tie rod under the knuckle to allow room for a longer arm. then the tie rod hangs too low.. under the axle housing, not going to work.
Cant flip the arm to the top of the servo because first rollover would break the arm off.
so i tried to tie rods to the same mounting point on servo arm, one in the front, one in the back, this seemed to work, however i didn't like the way it looked offsetting. I could deal with the look but, i found out at the raceway hobbies comp, this put the screw too close to the axle housing and it would bind up my steering not allowing me to steer at all. So its out the window.
I tried mounting them both in front of the arm but that stuck out way too far even past the front edge of the tires. This killed my approach angle.
so i saw someone post this solution and i thought i would give it a try.
My only concern is that the outside tires turn much further than the inside tire. does anyone see a problem with this. is it going to effect any performance or put any abnormal stress on anything.
you can see it in the next 2 pics..
Thanks
