First off I would like to say great forum! I bought a ST-1 and you guys are really helpfull. Now a couple of questions, Does anyone have the length of the steering rods when doing the steering mod from center to center at the rod ends? I saw the length of the turnbuckle posted but I might use different ends so the length would be appreciated. One more, I have a bunch of zero offset wheels I want to use and am thinking about getting some hub extensions from ofna. Are they a direct fit? shimming needed? Thanks for your help.
I have the 15mm ofna hub extenders. I got mine from amain

There are two sets of holes on the extenders. You will have to drill out the hole closest to the bottom of the hub with a 3mm drill bit. The hubs come with 2.5 mm holes but the ST-1 uses 3mm pins. Then carefully sand the bottom of the extender to take off a little of the rim. After that you can just slide them on and insert the pin. Be sure not to drill the hole too much. You want the pin to be tight when its inserted. Its a much cheaper fix then getting offset wheels and new tires. With the extenders you can also use the straight tie rod ends which are stronger then the bent ones. Or you can use kyosho ends. RPM makes a set of tie rod ends but I dont know for sure if they fit the ST-1 tie rods.
Hope this helps. If you need anymore help just email me.
