My modified Hot Shot.

Basically, the modification focuses on the steering system.

*First test run.
There's something wrong with steering, the radius of left turn is less than right turn.

A little difference between right turn and left turn.

This video shows how the steering system works.

*Second test run.
I fixed the problem. Although a little drift, the machine is finally controllable.

Nice steering set up.

Is this the Avante Racing Steering set up?

That looks to be it. Nice work on the modifications.

I thought the Avante steering system had a lot of slop already, though... Have you noticed any significant gains in steering control with this set-up? It always seemed to me that isometric(?) steering set-ups were more responsive than bell-crank types, though the Hotshot did have the 'hook-and-rod' isometric steering which was sloppy anyways.

Sorry, with my poor English, I hardly understand what you mean.

All I can say is the machine is still a little understeer, I've got to think of a solution.

Tires: Proline

Shocks: Yokomo B-Max (filled with Tamiya soft damper oil)

Shock Tower: Tamiya Super Shot

Rear suspension: anti-roll bar

Front suspension: no anti-roll bar)

You're right, that is Avante.

There are many Japanese who did such kind of modification. I'm just a follower.

That was more a reply to Finman, as I was agreeing with his identification of the Avante steering set.

Does the understeer have to do with the design limitations of the installation or the electronics? Increasing the steering dual rate could add a bit more travel if it is the electronics.
