I presume you mean "spring," not "string"?

I find mine to steer more freely with the spring removed, but that's my personal preference. Others will certainly prefer the return-to-center action of the spring.

Like much of the actions with ZZs, you get to choose.

Interesting question.

Of course that makes me wonder if a MT would benefit from the opposite as well: Doubled springs in a crawler configuration using a more powerful steering motor.

My thought is that it might handle rock crawling better if the wheels have more help banging back to center.

Something else for my list...

Yea I meant spring(moving a little too fast)

I think I'll take some time and try the string removed and two springs to see what I like.

thanks guys
