SCX24 Steering Modification. See Description.

CAUTION A little goes a long way. Don't take too much!
It took longer to get this video out than I had anticipated. sorry about that. Life Drama.
Anyway, if you want more steering angle you can have it easily. Look at your axle and remove anything that is limiting the movement of your C-hubs then cut it back. The front and back of the axle on on each side will need to be trimmed. Don't take too much. Good luck!

If you take of to much, just adjust your EPA right.

I normally take of 2mm. And put CVDs in the Axles and it's sweet

[@user-ji8ls9dr9f]

@@Ghosty-RC I am struggling with some RCAWD cvds. They bind drive line, and steering a lot in stock SCX24 plastic axles. Been shaving the ring gear side to free it up. So far the drive line is smooth, but steering seems to bind on the o ring retainer. Is it necessary to keep that? Steering is free with out it.

Awesome, I’ve had no problems with mine, but I have only trim a little bit

[@user-ji8ls9dr9f]

I have been looking at doing this to mine.

[@EXPIOWA]

@@user-ji8ls9dr9f Don't take too much or it could bind the driveshaft joint.

[@user-ji8ls9dr9f]

@@EXPIOWA I have swapped to cvds way smoother through the range of motion. I will limit it with trim on my controller.

[@RC-CARS-WORLD]

Awesome video 😃😀👍

[@naterbater118]

I think it chugs because the diffs are locked so to tire of turning radius will cause tire to skip

Ive been having issues with my left drive shaft constantly breaking when i turn too much. I have Treal axles. I noticed the pin that sits in the cup of the shaft looks like its about to come off and creates bucking.

[@EXPIOWA]

Do you still have the rubber o-ring inside of the ball cup?

[@user-ji8ls9dr9f]

@@EXPIOWA can you explain your question? I have been struggling with cvds, and am considering deleting the oring.

[@Nicceeez]

I dont see the product in the description can you put it in the comments awsome video btw

[@EXPIOWA]

In this mod I shaved the stock axles where the C-hubs strike it. I have moved away from this mod because it tends to over articulate them drive axle joint.

[@marc9164]

Wow. I tried this and need to know what motor you are running. I get better steering but no pulling tire off the ground.

[@EXPIOWA]

I am running a PN Racing PN70. My long wheelbase one can do it too running a Barrage. It could also be particularly due to running Kinetic shocks. The have a lot of articulation.

[@justinaldrich692]

@@EXPIOWA Kenetic Shocks???

[@EXPIOWA]

@@justinaldrich692 They double the shock extension via a telescoping mechanism. In most applications it overextends and makes the truck tippy. I recommend Flexblades instead.

[@DamazingT587]

I did that mod a few months ago. I went to far and bound up my front axle. Ended up replacing the axle.

[@EXPIOWA]

Sorry to hear about that. Was turning the dual rate down not effective?

[@DamazingT587]

@@EXPIOWA no worries! Yes turning the dr down helped but it took away the steering throw that i wanted. Replacing the axle was just for peace of mind that i would not break, while crawling

[@YDSimeonov]

I haven't done this mod yet, but I still get that bouncing when full throttle, full steer mostly to the left. Trimming down the steering doesn't help much too.

[@EXPIOWA]

Are your driveshaft ends in phase?

[@YDSimeonov]

@@EXPIOWA I thought it might be the CVDs having a small max angle. I will check the driveshafts. Thanks for the tip.

[@EXPIOWA]

@@YDSimeonov It might not help in every case but making sure its set up right can't hurt. Good luck!

[@andrewrichey7374]

My driveshaft both front and back in Betty right out of the box was way off phase, I fix that,

[@EXPIOWA]

You will get some bounce at high steering angles due to the locked axles. The outer tire has a wider turn radius than the inner. The only way it can turn is if one skids. As it turns out it is a grab and slip, grab and slip, operation. My full sized SUV does this as well.

[@justinaldrich692]

Man what motor you got in that bad boy?

[@EXPIOWA]

A PN70 on the new PN Racing aluminum motor mount. Its awesome kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX3On4GbmLN1fJo
