Heh, this's probably old news, and I know there's a second thread for this, but I thought I'd put it here, first, because I'm asking about a message on this thread.

Jumbosheet, you mentioned putting resistors alongside the steering pot to 'dull down' the steering response some.

This is me just reasoning out the problem, but... Is there any reason you couldn't put in a couple of pots instead?

If increasing their resistance would dull the steering response on that side, then it stands to reason that you could use an extra two pots to 'dial in' the controller's steering sensitivity even more, maybe even enough to get the full throw of the car's steering mechanism without the parts jamming up on the chassis as an 'end stop'.

Heck, if you started kitting it out for drag races, you could even dial out the steering even more, to make it easier to make small corrections on your tracking.
