sloppy steering normal on mt ??

[aussie]

hi guys


how are you all


i was just wandering do your rampage mt also have sloppy steering ??


i can move each front wheel and the steering set up seems to be sloppy/wobble.


is this normal ??


if not what can i do to fix this and what to tighten up please ??


also i brought the hs5745 mh two servos like you said.


they come with full arms though,but i need to use 1/2 half arm though don't i for dual servo steering up grade ??


can i trim down arm to make it into a half arm ??


iv seen the # 55701 half arm you can buy but its seems to be the same dimensions/size as afull arm cut down isnt it ??


hope to hear some replies.


cheers

my mt has a little bit of play in the front end. ive tried to fix it a few times but i just thought it was from excess wear. i don't remember if it was their when new. and yes. lop off the servo arm. dremel it smooth on the other side so it don't look "hacked"

the blue cross bar is on the servo saver linkage. it goes from left to right under your front chassis support. it does have a small amount of slopp to it. but don't over tighten it. that will bind your stearing. i don't have that much slop on my alum stearing mounts anymore(fixed), but its mostly from all the ball joints as they wear down from dirt.

I used half of the servo arm that came with the servo and added a extention to get a bit more throw, also chewed out a bit of the diff case to get that little extra. I made my own tie rod as the stock one wears fast, I used a wider piece of alum and have bearings instead of the steel bushings, it's lasted a good while now with no slop yet. Sorry it looks "Hacked" but I'm about function not how pretty it looks.
