Some off road racers use reverse ackermann to help pull the front end around so for an RC it would be nice to have correct geometry but not critical, it may even help stop the double drive rear end pushing straight offroad?

LOL, after I posted the new message the old one appeared! So I deleted it.

I just did a little test and it does appear putting the tie rod behind the axle results in more Ackerman which would turn my inner tire more than the current setup. I think my limiting factor would be the dog bones in the front axle shafts. I wish CVDs were still available for TLTs. I think I found some in Germany, but they were too pricey and I couldn't justify the cost.

Got a nice delivery of Lesu goodies today, but the only pic I have so far is the micro servo mount for the transmission. I drilled/tapped a bunch of holes on the chassis today for the other stuff that came in and all of it should get paint tomorrow.

Anyway, here's the servo installed. With the servo arm cut down just a bit it clears the bottom of the sleeper cab. I just had to clearance part of the crossmember for the shifter link.
