I am sure all of you out there who have Mugen MBX5-T's know about their bump steer problem, a small design flaw in an otherwise excellent truggy. Well I just got my MBX5-T and I am wanting to know what some of you did to fix the bump steer problem. I know adding spacers under the link on either the ackerman plate or knuckle, or flipping which side the link is on on the ackerman plate or knuckle, can help, but I am not sure what works best. I have looked through different ways to solve this on RCT but didn't have alot of luck because everyone seems to have their own theory on it. So what have any of you MBX5-T owners done to get rid of or reduce bump steer? Please post a picture too if you can please.

Thanks!

Would you happen to know how many mm I should space it up or just try a few different heights and see how it does?

Bump Steer
If you're a Mugen driver, you'll know that in order to get rid of all bump steer, you have to revise the steering rack and run double links. When it was time to design the truck, Mugen took care of this issue by revising the steering rack's geometry and changing it up.

You need an offset ackerman plate to fix this-
