A few updates the monster buggy... my attempts at steering mods!

Basically this was broken down into three phases. First was using the FLM drag link and making mods to the streeting linkage arm to allow for as much movement as possible:



Second was to modify the hubs and hub carries to remove any places that they were binding or were causing them to stop too soon.





This got me a lot more throw than expected and the tie rods were binding on the suspension arm's rear shock mount tabs. Since I am using Flux shocks, I had no need for the tabs and was able to remove them.



There are a few more pictures in the gallery.

I should note that even with the mods, the servo is still well under its full movement so there shouldn't be an issues with the servo. I'm also using the heavy duty servo saver spring.

And yes, my monster buggy is a bit dirty... :)
