as titel asks...on- an offpower

offpowersteering is ok (could be more) but the onpowersteering is like next to no-steering :D

...Mamaxx...try tightening your servo saver...The round dial on the saver post might be a little tight though...Use some needle nose, long thin, pliers to get it started...the plastic is a little soft so be careful...

...Also have a look at some of the screws holding your knuckles etc together...Some of them might be a little tight...I loosened a couple and it got better...Dont loosen them too much as they will fall out and that will throw your steering way off....Been there done that :o

...I also swapped the steering rods for some adjustable tamiya rods...any 3mm diameter 22 / 23mm threaded rod will work for you...

...Dont forget that softer shox will help you get more turn...Hope some of this helps...Peace...

The optional blocks will give you more stability but less steering.

this steeringissue is driving me crazy :(

i can handle the bad offpowersteering, but the onpowersteering is ****

hit the throttle and car will go straight :(

...how is the rod from the servo to the ackerman / steering? it sounds like it could be too short...look closely to see WHY it isnt steering while holding the car...something isnt connecting properly...If your servo saver has been tightened then i dont know what else it is...Maybe you lost a screw from UNDER the knuckle and they are getting caught and not turning...is your servo moving AT ALL?

its all ok...everthing is moving like charme...its just the onpowersteering .

i think the reason are the diffs...way to tight
