I know it looks off when the inside tire is turned sharper, but that's actually called Ackerman and it's totally normal. Think about it, the inside tire goes around the corner at a tighter rate than the outside tire. So it's just fine sir! Nothing wrong with it.
Looking good mate. For the antenna tube you could also have used a piece of fuel line. I've done that in the past. That exhaust is awesome but not practical. I always wonder about leaving lipos in rc's. I personally prefer not to. You could wrap ya baja in a huge Lipo safe bag😲😲🤣🤣👌
I gotta big bag. :) The switch will always be unplugged when I am finish playing. Lucky I don't race and just do some bashing or I would get a different pipe... All my other RC's the Lipos get removed..
The steering dynamics are not off. That is called ackerman steering. Its what is used in kart racing and other open wheel racing. The inside wheel depending on which way your turning will turn more then the other.
Justin you are correct, but I had the rod end on the wrong side of the servo saver and it made the steering arms at an extreme angle. That made the Ackerman Steering twice as bad. Once I put the rod ends on the correct side of the servo saver the Ackerman steering wasn't so extreme.
@@JamesBrown-sv3km are you using the symetrical steering? I currently have my rod ends on the bottom side of spindle and servo saver. Not sure if this is correct or not though
@@judd913 Yes I am using the Symmetrical steering. Mine are now on the bottom side of spindle and servo saver also. I had it incorrect with the Rod end on the upper side of the servo saver, but the spindles were on the correct bottom side. Had some extreme ackerman steering angles.
It doesn't sound like you are a beginner if you are asking about arduino or raspberry. I had to look this up to answer your question. This is what I found for an answer. They would highly recommend using an Arduino for servo control. Arduino is better suited for external hardware control, especially if timing is crucial. This is because the Arduino doesn’t have to manage many processes at once, like a Raspberry Pi does. An Arduino can focus on one thing at a time. A Raspberry Pi is much more suited to graphics and heavy computing. These functions of a Pi can be utilized with Arduino if you establish a serial connection between the two boards.
@@JamesBrown-sv3km Hi James, thank you very much 😄. Can you please remind me the value of the torque in N.m or kg.cm of the first servomotor (HP845 HITEC)?
The steering is very sharp. After driving my other RC's they turn much wider. I like it a lot. Going at full speed you don't want to turn it too sharp or you will roll it.
yeah man, i installed this setup this weekend, and i see that when i push the front shocks up and down it greatly changes the toe angle. I noticed that you the balls on the symsteer unit on the bottom. I have mine on the top. Do you think thats whats causing it? Does your Toe angle change drastically when you push down or lift up the front of your car? Im thinking of tearing my all apart to change it to have mine more like yours. Let me know if you get this message.
@@JamesBrown-sv3km thanks man, I switched mine last night to the bottom and it's almost perfect now. No more or very little toe change during suspension travel. These kits reAlly should have directions.
Did you ever have issues with your inner turnbuckles hitting the chassis just before the steering is fully turned left or right? Just installed this setup to my Baja and I can't get my head around what's going on. Cheers
You have to adjust your set point on your remote so it doesn't hit. You will have plenty of steering if you adjust it just before it hits the chassis. That is how I have mine. I have also seen some guys mount the inner and outer turnbuckles on the top side of the arms. I do not know how this works because I have not tried it.
