description  Just trying this out for now, the 'how and why' has always got to me, so spent a fair bit of last night getting me head round it.
The steering on a Clod has never been great because there is an Ackerman issue, in so much as the inner wheel does what the outside one should
This mod apparently sorts it

Anyway, I put the knuckles on upside down, so the link rod could clear the gearbox, and also fitted the rod with lo-profile ball ends - link rod misses gearbox by about 3mm
Servo link is attached to steering rod via a ball end screwed into the rod (stainless steel rod, bendproof ish)
At the minute, this is all I got, but I'm chuffed so far
