Xmods Evo Truck: Where's the spot for Tight Turn Mod?

Okay, so I know the Tight Turn Mod is old, but the steps involve working on a car and not the trucks.

Can anyone tell me which wires I'd need to put the 3.3k Resistors on for this mod?

Here's a pic of the Evo Truck PCB:



Thanks!

I might be mistaken, but I thought the tight turns was only utilized on the gen1 cars as the evo's already had a better turning radius.

Any posibility of doing it on the Evo Truck anyway?

Even if the steering is better now, it could still use a tweak.

YOU IDOIT!

it only works for gen1's because the steering didn't go to the maximum. i know this because:
1) i have a brain
2) they say the same thing on XMW
so research a little more instead of being a tard.

Well, use that over intelligent brain of yours an never come to this site for us. You obviously have a capacity beyond any of ours.

You displayed your vast knowledge back when you couldn't figure out why your 3 cell superslicks car wouldn't charge. You're not that bright so screw off and get off this site.

Go find another site to waste your pathetic time trying to compensate.

hey well yea the guy above was really rude probabbly a FOB lol but why would you need to change the turn radius in an evo the wheels turn to the farthest point possible. ive never done the mod on a gen 1 (cuz i never had a gen 1... until now ) but does it like increase the reaction time of the turn

Actually, I don't see it as a "button", for me it's more a 'loving touch of banishment'.

Cause then it's a pleasant experience...CUSTOM stepped way out of line, so I gave him some "loving".

...Feeeeeel the tranquility, ahhhhh.

There's 2 types of Evolutions; Cars and Trucks.

My Hummer's turning radius is disappointingly large, hence I want to try and mod it for tighter turning.

I also went and bought an Evo Lancer EvoVIII car the other day and that badboy, on the other hand, can turn on a dime! Absolutely nothing wrong there.

As far as the reaction time goes, that was a drawback with the Gen1 and fixed in the Evolutions (along with a big list of other fixes/updates).

the truck might have bigger turning radius because they have bigger tires and have a longer chassis. i am basing this on reallife physics (if thats how you spell it) since for example: a suzuki jimny has a truning radius of 4.6 meters while a chevrolet suburban has a turning radius of 8.something meters, since the suburban is a lot longer. also since the same electronics are used for both evo and trucks, made it needs a bigger servo motor.u could try using a zz monster motor insstead or finding a servo that size with more torque....since the evos servo turn to the MAX!!!
i experienced this with my hummer when i put some oversized tires on it, also noticed a considerable drop in torque....that guy was disrespectful.....oh well some people are just too stupid to understand respect...

I found the problem...And it wasn't because the Evo Truck has a bad turning radius.

I installed GPM Alloy Differentials in the front and rear, the ones in the front are extremely stiff (they need quite a bit more break-in) and because of that it considerably hindered the steering.

Once I switched the front and rear diffs out, everything is MUCH better now!

I've read this post before, but was at the end of it and completely missed the suicidal rant.
Funny stuff actually. "Hey green guy!" WHAM!!! Hulk Smash!
