G-Maxx Steering Question
 

I need some help. I just built a G-Maxx truck. I am using the G3 Race suspension with the G2 X-Brace chassis. I am running Ingedy piggyback shocks. I have a Novak Brushless motor.

Love the truck, but I have a problem. My steering linkage is hitting the bottom of the shock where it mounts to the L-arm on both sides. Sitting normal, its fine. If the suspension is depressed, it hits. This only happens when its turned a little one way or another. Strait is fine. I have the stock turnbuckles with stock ends.

What can I do to correct this? I have the stock Steering bell crank setup, with aluminum posts. I would like to upgrade the entire setup to aluminum, but I want to fix the problem first.

Please help!
:eek:

You could use a suspension limiter? (fuel tube inside the shocks) or an external wire..

Would you be able to post a picture?

A picture would be helpful. Perhaps you have the turnbuckles mounted incorrectly or something that a picture would clear up.

Thanks for the picture. If possible, could you take a picture with the wheels off from the rear of the truck (get a close shot of the front steering set-up from the rear perspective and no wheels). It is a little difficult to see the trouble in the above pictures. Also, make sure the turnbuckle is mounted on the bottom of the sterring knuckle. A quick tip that may halp is to reverse the lower shock mounting screws(put the nuts on the inside, towards the cvd).
