Steering Angle

[LamChop]

What can be done, besides the artful dodgers parts to get more steering angle out of these rigs?

Caster flip, move the steering link one top of the steering arms and clock the C-hubs back 2-3 notches (this is 3), in front a spaced the drag link about 5-6 mm just so it is flat.

I am not the OP. Thanks for the detailed picture. Would you happen to know the adjustment needed for CMS style elements? I have one and I did the caster flip. With out modding any link lengths, the wheel toe in/out got all wonky and the pan hard shifts the front axle left looking from the front if I recall... I have googled 'caster flip element' with out good results.

any help appreciated. I may just got with the SOA mount plastic for the enduro SE and converted if I can't get it right.


thanks

You'll have to reposition the panhard link to it's original position like if you never did the caster flip. An assortment of different length screws and M3 spacers can usually solve this issue, and if you have a lot of droop you might even need a bent link. Good luck.

Swap over to the SSD axles (full axle, not just SSD axle shafts though that may help the stock units).
DISCLAIMER. I don't own an Element model, nor have I.
Not even seen one in person even.

Reason I say what I said is the SSD axles get you around 53*. I've yet to find another axle regardless of Manufacturer (I've not seen them all yet) to have such a nice turning radius before it mechanically limits out.

Here is steering in action.
