I'm thinking about mounting a high tourqe metal gear 9g servo inside the Hemi to get proper steering geometry. Attachments:

Dasbeermeister Topic Author Offline Devilsome! Posts: 455 Likes received: 65	Just a small update. First try on the new front end is a fail. I need to make the arms that hold the kingpin about 15mm longer so the wheels can actually turn and not rub the fenders or the chassis. And the mock up showed me where I need to enlarge the blower hole in the hood. Attachments:
