Hi All,
I thought I would run a few things past the collective here, just to be sure I am not missing something obvious.
After replacing the original Servo with a Power HD 20KG metal geared Servo with a matching Glitch Buster , when first powered on and testing steering, I need to wind the dual rate right up to get the steering lock to turn full ( or close to ) right/left. With the dual rate centered it was not turning the steering anywhere near the lock positions. Just checking that is normal.
Car seems to be difficult to drive in a straight line , with steering centered toe is more noticeable on one side than the other, which I can dial out with the trim so both are toeing out. Seems to be a little too much play in the steering overall, and non adjustable arms doesn't give a lot of options there. Car seems to wander under hard acceleration ( could also be that my son being over enthusiastic with steering inputs ), so just needing some advise to getting the car tracking straight better.
Lastly , general handling of the car seems to have shifted regards being a lot easier to roll in hard cornering since installing some HSP Aluminium shocks , which I also refilled with good quality oil 40/50 wt front/rear. Car ride height is a little higher with the HSP shocks/springs combo , and stiffer overall. Lands jumps nicely, just seems to roll very easily now. I have installed the original ( shorter/softer) springs and from the stock shocks and adjusted accordingly to match factory spacers to lower the height a little, and may actually lower the body a bit as well to see if I can minimize the rolling.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
