Numbing steering XX4
 
Hey all,

Silly question but is there any other way of numbing down the steering on a Losi xx4 other than changing the front springs or cutting the top of the caster block flush?

Thanks

Ye cut rows off the tyres ;)

Garry Driffill 17-01-2009 05:59 PM

Ive had a pop with cutting tyres, Is there anything else that i could try other than that you recon?

Thanks

On the front castor blocks cut the little stubby bit the ballstud sits on so its flat with the rest of it if that makes sence.

You don't do reading do you Ash :bored:

LOL @ Lee

Garry, you could try going up 5 wt oil in the front, or raise the ride height a mm or 2.

Do you have to much front end in general? or is it to much steering into or out of the corner?

Try leaning the top of the shocks in, or adjust the toe in/out.

Garry Driffill 17-01-2009 09:55 PM

Just in general Craig.

I'll try what you lads have recomended ;)

If you are on the inside hole on the front wishbone you could try the middle hole.... this is how I have always run my X-5 / XX4's on high grip carpet tracks

If what I have suggested doesn't help enough then maybe you could post your setup and we'll begin some analasis

ashleyb4 17-01-2009 11:11 PM

What setup are you running garry? And why is this in the x factory section?

Because everybody knows the only way to win with a xx-4 is to xonvert it!

Not relaly you could just leave it as it is and still have one of the best cars ever made.

Ashley, you are quite right, the XX4 was one of the best cars ever made, thats why we recognized this at X-Factory and chose this as our platform for our own 4wd - the X5 which went one step further.

The Squared now just makes it even better still :woot:

Darren Boyle 18-01-2009 10:48 PM

Not enough times Ash!!!!! We still have not sent you any....LOL

You only need to put it in there once mate, then hit the pay button and you would become the proud owner of one of the best 2wd's on the market (B4) and the X6 conversion that makes it even better!!! :p
