12 deg steering blocks will give you more high speed steering, less low speed. The answer to getting more steering from a 501X is playing around with roll centre and ackerman.

Ackerman - get the alloy steering parts, and use the inside hole on the bellcrank - this reduces the steering angle difference between the wheels, and gives you more steering.

Roll centre: pitch the roll centre down toward the front of the car, this will make the car go into corners nose down, increasing steering.

And dont use the stock servo saver, use a tighter one, or non at all.
