Mods for a tighter turning radius.

[rossb]

Are there any recommended mods for a tighter turning radius? My turning radius is not nearly tight enough for the track. My trims and endpoints are set to maximize the stock steering throw and have the MP servo saver mod. I run HPI DirtBonz on Q6 rims, a Futaba S3305 HT Metal gear servo (124 oz-in at 6V) and an Ofna 6V NiMH pack. My steering does max out to full travel when the truck is moving so it is not a servo issue.

I am thinking about trimming the area where the steering knuckle hits the suspension arm.

the only mod i know is shaving the carriers and hubs to allow for more travel. i did it once, and gained some more turning, but the parts tend to break more easily. well, atleast mine did.

try another thickness of diff oil?

I just took a close look at my truck and the arms of my MP servo saver are hitting the diff before my steering knuckles get to their full travel.

HPI makes a cam-style servo saver kit that does away with that problem. All the parts needed, in one handy kit.
