Hmm, I built mine with the Kit link, and the Exotek one and this never occured.

Does anyone have pics of one where they feel this is failing ?

the only way to adjust EPA to cure this is to have the servo force and put the outer wheel suspension under constraint (ie have your EPA "too far"). not good. In stock form and with properly setup EPA's (ie with no static load on servo with wheels turned) it will wobble like crazy. Trigonometrics 101, the 3 points are almost aligned, very easy to move the center one a lot with not much.

My solution to this and other dex210 headaches was to bite the bullet, sell it after running it 4 packs and buy something else.

Lets see if we can get it sorted for you

I thought that aswell but just saying wat i saw?

I think i have it fixed for me anyway! i took the 4 screws out the bottom and lifted the whole front end up, i then took the servo horn off and put it on so it was straight down (do this wen the car is on btw), then i ajusted the little turnbuckle thing thats on the servo horn so that wen the horn is straight down the bellcrank/ackerman is in the middle, this seemed to cure it mine was slightly out and was doing the same as the vid not just as bad tho!

I also put the exotek ackerman on and i can confirm that it is exactly the same size and works the same and looks beast!
