Is this part for real? If so I'm going to get one. Maybe my mLST will finally track straight!!!

anyone seen it?

Mr Bubbles

I doubt it will fix it. Besides, instead of paying 5 bucks for that, just get a 2mm wire and bend it using hte stock one as a guide. (he mentions it's made out of 2mm wire) I don't know about you, but my MLST tracks straight without any problem. It only veers left and right when the battery dumps.

Mine has a serious problem returning to center. I'm always messing with the trim. It has to do with that linkage. Good point though, I might as well make one.

Stick a ball stud through the servo arm, connect with tie rod. no slop. It isn't quite as simple as that but thats the jist of it.

Nope, doesnt really work.

Fair enough, check out blunt's MLST over on One18th.com in the galleries for a single servo solution.

I added the ball studs and cups to mine and it took the slop out, but didn't do a thing as far as getting it to track straight. I've come to the conclusion that one of servos needs to be replaced. One servo centers good, and the other over shoots in one direction.

ah... i was about to spend another day working on my mlst, but seeing that post really saved me from a day's worth of wasted effort...
so can you be more precise about it? like what is exactly the problem with using a ball stud and tie rod fix...

mycarisaser

I have the same problem and I have replaced the servos with the jr 241mg (it didnt do any good) its got me scratching my head. I have my mlst on the shelf until I can get some fixes for it. So my xxx-t is getting all my attention

gunnut

It's so hard to drive! Makes me look like an idiot! LOL
I try to hit ramps and stuff but it's hard when the thing CAN'T GO STRAIGHT! EVER!!!!!! [:@]
I have the crappy steering to blame for a broken wheel!

-Inverted-

Yea, it might have took out some of the slop, but since I havnt used the stock one in a while it's hard to tell. Wasnt really worth $10
When Integy releases their steering fix, it should steer straight.

Captincoke

Is that the one that connects to the rear of the horn instead of the middle? If it is, I would think it would create enough leverage to keep them together. When are those supposed to be released?

My Feedback: (9)

think toe in

carmatic1

toeing doesnt help, the wheels are pointing inwards but they are still not pointing the same direction everytime you let go of your steering... the geometry of the steering makes toeing in useless

mycarisaser

that was my first attempt on getting this thing to stear straight
