I too use a high torque saver the Trucks with the separate kit supplied fixed central pivot might not, I need to check!

What I find is with a 25 T servo I center it then the saver splines won’t line up to slot on dead straight and the compromise is a spline to the left or right then adjusting the trim. i don’t bave any 23T servos, I expect I’d have the same problem yeah there’s a lot of slack on all to front wheels on the 2WD ones (regardless of bearing or not) guess I need spacers.

Drumstick for the Snackbox build LOL I bought some little shiny wheels, more little shiny wheels...

I don’t think in terms of finished or not. Nothing I do gets finished, keeps things simple and keeps them perfectly imperfect. What a cop out!

Hi @Falcon#5 they’re wandering. Also seems the turning circle varies in size left to right, is that my setup or is it character due to servo location / steering arm length or similar?

Hi folks! I could use some guidance on how to setup the steering because I struggle to get my RC vehicles to a place where I am happy with straight line driving. Even when I use turn buckles and spend ages tinkering it doesn’t always resolve all the issues. is the a technique or some gadget that can help? All my vehicles are vintage monster trucks, no buggies or road cars, maybe the slop is all of the issue and I just need to try harder! TIA

When you build it it’d be interesting to see it next to your dancing rider for comparison. Enjoy!

i can live with that

Sorted! Drilled 6mm halfway in to the 10mm standoff so it slid on the truncated axle then Dremeled out a channel for the pin. Plus no washer/shim needed as the rounded end of the standoff fits nicely against the bearing without rubbing the hub. those wheels are so sparkly! Running around indoors on 50% EPA & so much fun! Looking forward to getting a clear body to mess up

I ordered some 10 & 12mm standoffs for a couple of quid. Kit hex pictured at the back, with the holes in. The kit hex is 12mm long. I will need to use a washer/shim under the new hex to stop it rubbing on the hub, decided to use the 10mm long standoff not the 12mm. The pin will need filing down a bit so I can leave a bit of plastic round the outside to keep it in. The standoff will need drilling out another +/- 1mm to fit the axle.

Whilst browsing the web I discovered the chrome wheels I got were originally from a TamTech called Wild Boar https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/56704wildboar/index.htm & recycled for the dancing rider as a hop up. The work for a decent 10mm hex continues...

Enjoy! I need a new build project now

Dunno but... Those BMs looks awesome!

@moffman it’s in a thread I got side tracked with the mini lunchbox.
