hey you say you have a associated T, what servo do u use, or did you rigg somting up to help the steering? Mine T has terrible steering i don't know if this is a common problem or if it's just my servo (a traxxas high torque servo off of a T-MAXX). Is there some thing you can buy for it to enhance the steering? thanx. Mr. MAXX

Dude, my 10T has AWESOME steering. This is what I did: ditch the stock bellcranks and servo saver and buy an MIP ball-bearing steering kit for it. This makes it very smooth. To be safe, I use a Kimbrough servo saver arm to absorb impacts. I use a pretty strong Airtronics servo (not all metal gears) in mine, I think it has around 80 oz./in. of torque. With that setup it never had steering troubles and I never broke a servo or even stripped servo gears. Good luck!
BTW, I raced with this baby for a few months before I got my XXXT and was very successful. I even won a few times. Driver skill is the biggest part of racing successfully. As long as you get your suspension dialed and keep the rest in good shape it'll be a great truck to race.

Oh yeah... I bought my bb steering years ago, so it might be hard to find. Make sure you check ebay. Just to clarify, it doesn't have a servo saver, so you must use one on the servo itself. The Kimbrough ones work very well.
