Another option, if the right side has more obstruction issues due to the gearbox...is flip the servo over so the shorter end relative to the servo gear is to the right instead of the left. Then just reverse the servo direction with the transmitter. Servo horn would hit the spur cover 😖 But you made...

EvolutionRevolution,

Could you tell me what is the correct length of the steering links? It's hard to find out that.

It is complicate to lower the steering links. Left side doesn't have obstruction. Right side is necessary to take care...

Hi Guys, I'm from Brazil. I'm not good talking in english but I'll try to share with you my last project. It is about converting the Kyosho PureTen Mantis EP RWD to FWD.

You need to take some stack out of area between the knuckle and ball end. Drop the links and make them almost parallel to the arms. That would be right if the steering links were roughly the same length as the upper links and if he were fighting toe out. But he is figthing toe in: because his steer...

I would still recommend removing some from the knuckles. The turnbuckles look like they are currently up at an angle. As the arm sweeps it makes the turnbuckle even shorter. If you lower the turnbuckle at the knuckle as the arm cycles the turnbuckle will not sweep as high up therefore keeping its l...

Where do I need to put those washers?

Hi guys I converted a RWD Kyosho PureTen Mantis to fwd. Now, I've been having problems to keep the car in straight line. I've realized some weird: When I push the car down, the front wheels increase the "toe in" (more convergent). Please, check the video. I'm not able to solve that. https:...

Hi I am Brazilian and I own a Kyosho PureTen Mantis RWD EP. It was my first hobby grade rc. When I saw this topic, I decided to do the same. My chassis is finished. I created a topic on Brazilian forum: http://www.rceletrico.com.br/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=51623 I wanna share informations abou...
