Steering help

[kaustic karl]

Got a 4 link installed and an axel mounted servo. My steering arm is going to be too long, I need it to be about 3 1/8 inch. Any ideas on what to do about the battery tray? I get pretty good flex, but the servo does hit the tray.

Remove/cut the tray and relocate the battery? Not much else to do.

any way to re-clock the servo horn and shim the servo forwards (it'll give you some room but not a lot) and attach the link to the back of the horn? just throwing the idea at the wall. never worked on a trail truck/crawler before.

I can do both. The servo can come to the forward holes on the mount plate (about an 1/8 to 3/16). Would re-clocking the horn throw the steering off? Would I be better off getting a turn buckle instead?

plug a battery in and make sure servo is centered (zero out the trim on the radio as well). then pull the horn off and re-clock it. after that it shouldn't be anything adjusting the trim on the radio shouldn't fix.
