HG P407 (Almost) free steering mod to stock steering

Please pardon the video. Made it on the fly after doing this mod. Was late at night and I was tired!

The HG P407 inherently has a weak steering system. It’s designed after the Tamiya Bruiser. It’s not necessarily bad but it needs help. The steering servo is mounted high up and towards the rear of the truck in a protective box and uses a long linkage to connect to the steering up front. In theory it might be a good idea to hide/protect the servo.

With the stock servo this truck was basically useless as it could barley turn. Now after this mod it’s much improved. The stock servo servo had way too much play and made the steering useless. I’ll drive it around like this and see what happens. Hopefully don’t need to front mount the steering servo!
