Get the BEST Response from your Steering Servo & Linkage

[@Tipman2OOO]

Thank you so much for sharing this.This is the video we all needed, but didn't know!

[@BoomslangSuss]

You’re welcome!

[@jjm2948]

Came for the incredible lesson and incredible hair

[@Gibsonlife573]

You sir would be so good for an RC company

[@Glocktologist]

I’m not a crawler guy but this information is very good and mostly applicable to buggies as well. One thing to note is the servo horn length: you can use a shorter one to increase the final steering torque and improve steering precision. Because the rotating horn projects an even smaller linear movement toward the ends of the throw, you have even more torque and less risk of burning up the servo when the steering knuckles get close to those hard stops. The downside to a shorter servo horn is reduced steering speed. If you were reducing the speed in the transmitter settings already, this is hardly a negative.

I’m happy that some people are seeing the crossover and I hope to expand outside crawlers where applicable. You make some great points. I actually made a SHORT on that topic but not sure that people can find both shorts and fulls equally. Thanks for sharing.

Holy important video Batman. This is a must save video. I’ve been doing steering wrong

[@BoomslangSuss]

So happy you found it!

[@bandmg7712]

Really appreciate these videos you make. The way you explain the topics based on the rc crawler world is excellent. Thank you

[@BoomslangSuss]

You’re welcome! Thanks for the kind words and checking out the channel.

[@Dupdopy]

Great details on trim/sub-trim, thank you!

[@BoomslangSuss]

You bet!

[@HolmesHobbies]

Fantastic steering info!

[@BoomslangSuss]

That means a lot coming from you! Thank you kindly.

[@oswaldomesia2354]

You are killing it with these videos

[@BoomslangSuss]

Much appreciated.

[@RoadsideRC]

Soo close to your FIRST 1k subscribers! Keep up these good videos and you will do great!

[@BoomslangSuss]

Thanks for the encouragement! I have a lot more videos planned and I’m happy people are finding them.

[@slovenedisco]

Really enjoy your videos, lots of good info simply put

[@BoomslangSuss]

I appreciate that!

[@themountain59]

Very helpful...lots of things I never considered ....thanks a lot 👌🤘

[@BoomslangSuss]

Glad to hear that!

[@Crawlingrc3903]

I learn alot from your videos thnk you fornmaking these

[@BoomslangSuss]

My pleasure!

[@yonicozac]

Great video once again!

[@BoomslangSuss]

Thank you!

[@pocketfuloducks1062]

It’s all in the details

[@BoomslangSuss]

Facts.

[@Adrian-jy8xj]

I realy like the way you do your hobby. Do you have a video about crawler suspention geometry?

[@BoomslangSuss]

Thanks fr the compliment and checkout the channel. Yes I have a few suspension videos. Tuning with Shock Angle - Part 2: DETAILED Version kzbin.info/www/bejne/oF6UXoGPqsakiLs

[@Adrian-jy8xj]

@BoomslangSuss I watched (almost) all your crawler suspention videos. As a mechanical engineer and after a 20 years long downhill addiction, progression, springrate and damping is not where my deficit lies. Together with my son I started a project to design and 3d print a expedition crawler which is capable of climbing the peaks in the german alps. At the moment our blindspot is the linkage geometry of the suspention. Do you know a website where we can educate ourselves?

[@BoomslangSuss]

Full size expedition crawler? With people inside?

[@Adrian-jy8xj]

@@BoomslangSuss :)) hell no!!! 1/10 rc crawler.

[@BoomslangSuss]

A lot of people hate on this claim, but it is correct. When you are crawling slowly, your 4-bar linkage geometry is not super effective in anyway. Things like anti-squat, anti-dive and roll center are dynamic situations. So for the times you are moving fast set your vehicle up for a neutral response on all 3 of these parameters. But more importantly, set you car up for maximum clearance and lowest CG for best crawling performance.

[@ShoddyRC]

Video idea: how to calculate gear ratios. Differential gear specs list the teeth count, portal gears specs list a ratio and or teeth count, and transmission specs give you a percentage of overdrive. I’m trying to normalize everything to a ratio, then calculate what my overdrive will be. But I don’t think the numbers are coming out right.

[@BoomslangSuss]

Excellent suggestion. I’m on it.

[@yrusonoz5574]

Pretty interesting

[@jjm2948]

What RC crawler company is best at steering geometry?

[@BoomslangSuss]

Most RTR's out of the box have the steering figured out nicely. It starts to get weird when you have an aftermarket axle from one company, a servo mount from a different company, then a servo arm from a 3rd company. That's when you need to be aware an apply what's in the video.

Any time I mess with Trim/Sub-Trim I double check my EPAs

[@BoomslangSuss]

Never hurts!
