TAMIYA SUPER CLODBUSTER DETAILED BUILD STEP 8.

Nice correction man... The steering isn't all that good on a stock Clod but there are things you can do to get more steering from it... On the knuckles (D1 & D2), you'll see "tabs" that hit the axle tubes/hub mounts, you could cut those tabs off and the knuckles will turn a bit more.. Also, cranking down on the servo saver nut more than what than manual states, just a bit more, the steering won't feel as "sloppy". Good luck with the gear boxes and keep an eye out for that pesky 3mm nut that goes into each gear box. Are you going Box Art or something different?

Thanks again for spotting that, I will leave the steering standard for the first few runs and see how I feel about it, I also have a servo on axle kit and a rear steering lockout to try. Yep I spotted that 3mm nut, I didn't miss that one.

@@SkippyRC No worries mate, just some old tricks from years gone by... I had a BTA (behind the axle) steering servo kit on my race Clod with rear steer lock-out, all those aftermarket steering kits seem to work best with a wide off set of the wheels & tires. Ha, glad you spotted that nut, its a tricky bastard of how they show it in the manual. If you decide to change the motors, don't use Sport Tuned or Torque Tuned motors from Tamiya as they don't have zero timing.. I know how you feel man, lost my mom a few years back and in Jan 2024, I lost my dog, losing my boy really messed me up, I still feel his loss, It still hurts... He was a Black Lab named Booth, he made it to 12 but cancer got him.... Nothing could be done.

@@UncleBobsRC I appreciate it, and thanks for letting me know about those motors, was thinking of the sports tuned if I wanted more speed. Sorry for your loss mat and thanks for sharing.
