SCX10 Rubicon Pt7: Chassis Mounted Servo & Panhard Bar.

February 2014 UPDATE: In this video I had the drag link going from the servo horn down to the truck's left (as per Axial instructions) and was getting terrible 'bump steer'. Thanks to a suggestion by wynney1978, I moved the drag link to connect down on the truck's right (had to make up a longer drag link approx. 80mm 'ball centre to centre'), so it was going parallel with the panhard bar and the bump steer is solved. Here is an update video on this fix:    • Axial SCX10 - Tuning Pt3: CMS Bump St...

Watch out for the next part of the build series where we cover those pesky leaking Axial shocks...
