and about the steering mod...did which steering rod did you use?

maxxitout 11-22-2005 07:55 AM

I used the stock link even though the lift arms were used. It really does'nt matter since you cut off the part that's different between the two. I highly recommend the little Commando brand pin drill that Radio Shack carries for all precise drilling, it is top quality!

Here's a quick little vid of it showing some articulation. Hope you don't have to register to view...

does it still toe-out a lot when the front suspension is compressed?

Check out my video...

That's neat! It looks like you have a lot of torque. Did you FET upgrade? Stage 2 motor with smallest pinion? I did the FET upgrade and it has a little more punch and speed now. I tried the two stack but lost reverse so I went back to single. The soldering required is VERY tricky.

My modded steering barely has any toe-out when compressed fully. When it was lifted with just RS arms the wheels literally aimed away from eachother when compressed, like they were turning opposite, it was terrible. The little knuckle arms I added position the steering pivot point of the knuckle in the right place, more inboard. I am 100% satisfied with the mod and so far has been flawless.

All it has is RS upgrades including the st2 motor with lowest gearing. I wish I had the skill to solder fets.

You think you have time to solder some fets in for me? I'm in California, so its not that far from you. It would probably take a couple days to ship.

i still dont know how to make the mod work. TUT!!

newbitowner 11-23-2005 12:39 PM

I'd also like a TUT. I'm not sure where to glue or where to cut/trim.

CUSTOM 11-23-2005 12:45 PM

^what he said^

KingFuzz 11-23-2005 02:02 PM

Ditto. I think I can come up with what you did to eliminate the toe out (or atleast come close), but somemore details would be awesome. THe toe out is the one thing that bugs me about my F-150.

maxxitout 11-23-2005 06:19 PM

Well I'm pretty new to forums and I must admit I don't know what TUT means... If you guys let me know I will post it.

CUSTOM 11-23-2005 07:07 PM

step-by-step guide to how you did that with pics. AKA tutorial.:rolleyes:

ps: 1 q, what do you mean by "dyed" parts? did you spray paint them or what did you do? i painted mine and the got scratched like hell(i did this before you existed!^^) so its a little orange

maxxitout 11-24-2005 01:22 PM

Well that makes sense...once you know...lol

I will make something up and post soon.
