upright servo postion

[Luke123]

Iv seen a couple cars online with the servo mounted at an angel and the servo saver facing down. I know this was used on a few 12th cars back in the day, Is it a big improvment on steering?

[Karl Dransfield]

It gives less ackerman and thus less agressive steering. It's advantage is in reducing bump steer, as the steering links are parallel when on full lock. I just use the laydown servo though. It's a personal preference thing.

[Luke123]

Is there really enough weight on the front for bump steer to take effect?

[Karl Dransfield]

There is enough to induce bump steer, but not enough to make bump steer a huge issue. Hence why the servo is fine in the laydown position.
