Well, no one seemed to notice my posts the first time, so how about this time?

Anyone tried using different gear sets in the XMODS steering servo to get similar results to changing the steering resistors? All in all, isn’t it better for the life of the car not to modify electronics to solve a mechanical problem?

How should you modify the steering mod resistors when you are using increased voltage systems?

Obviously it would be preferable to electrically isolate the steering electronics from the rest of the car so that it has the same voltage as under normal power conditions, and eliminate servo chatter; but I imagine that someone would have tried to do that already.

So since that hasn’t been tried yet, there must be some other change to be made to the steering resistors when higher voltages are used. The extra voltage will increase the voltage across the resistor and the current flowing through the resistor. Obviously, this affects whether the value of these resistors are the right choice using higher voltage power.

Anyone have any thoughts?
I don’t post just to hear myself type, you know...
