B-money, managed to get down to the track yesterday. Ran for about 45minutes of furious tweaking before the servo let go.
The truck is a nose diving monster. I ended up cranking up the front end, going to full droop. I slammed the rear end with the grub screws, which worked to make a few reasonable laps.
The servo died because the steering ball end at the servo horn hits the aluminum plate the radio is mounted too.... Poor design.
I brought it home and promptly moved the center diff back 3inches. I swapped the front and rear shafts and drilled/ countersunk new holes. I also moved the battery tray back another 1-1/8inch from its rearmost position.
I'm going to stand the servo up to correct the poor geometry and stop the binding.
I'll post up a pic in a little bit.
If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
