As we all know Ive been converting my buggy to a Tsunami, and now it is finally completed, but I'm having some issue's and I hope someone can shed some light on this, the linkage for the steering doesn't seem to be right, as you can see by the pictures when the arms are fully in the down position you can see the linkage even with the arm, and when you go to turn the wheels the linkage hits the side of the arm, when the arm is raised the linkage goes above the arm allowing it to turn even more , whats causing this ? did I forget to get something ?

Everything looks fine to me. Is it having any issues with steering?

Ive not run it yet, but while testing everything setting here turning on the transmitter and car when I turn the wheels it will go till it hits the side of the arm and if you raise the arm up and turn it, it will turn even farther because the linkage will go above the arm.

can you move the arm on top.... try that....

LOL yeah thats where I put it in the first place, and when it was there, when the arm raised the wheel would do a full turn its self because the linkage is pulling it when the arm is raising, then I looked at redcats site to see how the arm steering linkage connects and it is how I have it in the picture's this picture is from redcats site

take a pic of your car just like the redcat pic....
i wanna see something.....

Okay here they are side by side

chek out the pic...

Yeah I checked that when I installed them, they do have an R and the other L which they are on the side there suppose to. See the R under the screw on my picture thats on the right side of the car.

i see it now...
is it the right one??? the redcat one is dif from the one you have....

Yeah trust me Ive done a lot of research on what all it would take to do this conversion I checked a hundred times over, comparing with the Tornado, Volcano, and Tsunami on what all parts are compatible with each other and what ain't compatible.

whats about the tabs.. that let the arms move down...

This is what I ordered and got
02014 Front Hub Carrier 1 $4.99
02015 C-Hub 1 $4.99

And thats is for the Tsunami on redcats site

I thought about that to which I can raise the arm by raising the shock its self to a higher notch, but if I do that which I checked already if it is raised more, the arms will come up to far for the dog bones, that puts it over the limit of the drive cups and will cause the bones to bend on a high jump from the landing.

u know we are thinking this was to hard.. u know its going to be something easy....you know that right.. lol..... its going to be like a wrong screw or something backwards..lol

lol I hope so

you might have to wait for Ehroof or redcatracing or redcat nick to come on and help out... or unless someone els has ur rc... and they can look at theres...
i have the Volcano SV... and i have my buddys Tornado BB.... but i dont have yours...

Well thats what you should have got was the ELC Tsunami lol from the winning contest.

lol... u funny man....
i wanted the lightning so i could try that Drifting... i think it will be cool...

On the Tab issue, that would work, but in order for it to work the tabs would have to be straight out flat, with leaving the shocks where they are now to keep from bending the dog bones. But that raises another question Why would they come from the factory with the tabs bent down ?

lol.. i have no Clue..... maybe you should wait till someone els can give there $0.02 on this....

The turning radius your worrying about is normal on most of the Redcats not just yours. The Volcano, Tsunami, Tornado's all turn farther than you would think they need to. If you need to shorten it up because tires are hitting you will have to change the position on the servo arm for the throw. As for the Tabs, there bent to restrict the arm travel so they don't pull the shocks apart. Hope that helps a little [:-]

Does you transmitter have end point adjustment. That is all you need to do is adjust the end points of you servo travel, so it stops when it is flush with the edge of the arm.

on mine the steering linkage is on top of the hub arm and on top of the servo arm that sticks out. here is a pic of mine.

Mine has the linkage on top of the hub but then on bottom of the servo saver
