Cenracer 1 I have'nt had any problems with sterring linkage I did it to lower center of gravity without laying servo down cus I like the servo horn to have same travel as sterring horn, hope makes sense. As for braceing I'm finally done after finding one of my hideing parts (cutoff of top plate replaceing that black piece between brake seat and servo looks alot cleaner) Have'nt tryed this rear shock set up yet but it seems to have alot smoother travel then last attempt. How does a 17/20 pinions 41/38 spurs setup sound. I'll let you know how it turns out. I also agree with pj about braceing between towers. Find a way to tie top plates together. My chassis's are as stiff as a board now, I can't flex them at all and thats with pushing it into the corner of the table holding it hand at each end.
