I used the 3.3k ones and it was fine.

Plus after you bend the tie rod....

Don't forget to remove the stops behind the wheels.

Well, with increased toe in, more friction = slower.. so on all terms the resistor mod is much better.. but if u dont have the soldering skills and/or the materials this should work fine, i did it a LONG.. time ago, it worked pretty well.. i still prefer the resistor fix

all good mods, people. i have the resistor mod on one xmod
AND the other way on the second xmod.
if you lift servo up and extend horn arm longer you will get travel radius of the horn wider. this in return makes turn radius smaller.

Could someone modify the photo with arrows pointing to which part of the steering rack is called the "tall fin" the "fins" and the "finger"?

I'm confused as to what to do to improve the turning radius.

Thanks,

Love doc

props to the bigguns :)
