Recently installed slash 4x4 steering bellcrank on 2wd. I like it but it seems it does not steer as sharp as before. In order to get full end to end steering, the turn buckles have to be adjusted with toe out. Seems odd. Any experience with this?

Are you able to move the steering linkage by hand, not connected to the servo, to desired endpoint/positions?

Just looking at the two different bellcranks, the throw on the 2wd version looks longer. All your linkage, along with the servo horn, travels in an arc. So you will see dimished returns the farther the components travel. And it's just based on pics of the two belcranks, but the 2wd versions look to have a longer throw on the steering links to the spindles. Could that be the reason? Is your belcrank running out of throw before it reaches your steering stops?

Comparing 2wd and 4wd side by side, everything seems exact length match. All components move freely. Drying out outside, rebuilding the diff then I'll play with it some more. I did see a video, they made their own center link/turnbuckle. Thought this was the problem but 2wd and 4wd are same length. I like the servo saver but I'll go back stock if it steers better. Thanks all
