X6 under steer !!

[welshcarter2012]

Hi again guys who can advise best for under steer !!
My x6 doesn't seem to take corners all that well , yes I'm from far the best driver however I'm sure this is contributing to my downfall .
A very good driver at my club drove it and said its under steering bad and that I need to look at the front end .. However that's as far as he got so can any 1 point me in the right direction ??

Cheers Craig

Look at the setups on PetitRC for a surface similar to the one you are running on and give that a whirl.

Will be much easier for people to help if you post your current setup and a description of the surface you are running on too

Fit the E Speed hangers if you havent got them on already.

Also make sure your servo saver isn't unloading (tighten the spring if it is). If you have a decent metal geared servo, you can look to gluing the servo saver together or fitting one of the many 3rd party alloy steering bellcranks that exists (Jconcepts and Avid do them I believe, others exist too).

But we really need to know your setup and what your track is like to offer any specifics...

what servo do you run, whats its torque?

Are you getting full lock to lock travel in your steering? I've seen some B4/X6's setup that were not reaching full travel on their steering and had to zeroise the servo (horn) position, re-adjust the link, and reset end points and travel over 100% on the tranny. I've also seen an X6's chassis around the servo horn fouling and limiting travel in one direction. A dremel will sort.
As mentioned the servo saver spring can be weak and reduce responsiveness of steering. Fixed is the way to go, but you may break a cheap servo's gearset.
Other than that post a photo of your front end, or list the settings you have.
