Looks as if the rack is too far forward, and that
instead of the inner wheel turning more, the outer one does. |

Hey every one thanks for the ideas, I have a new prototype in my head, and it should work fairly well. I will try moving the rack first, as this seems to be the simplest fix. |

looks to me that your steering rack is to far forward a stud back or even half a stud should fix it. that or its to high up on the frame, ive had some issues with thos swingarms and hubs seems they only work built just so. hope this helps. on a dif note. do the wheels toe in with it centered or just as turning?>
It is towed in when its straight also. |

P.S It looks like you don't have a clutch on your steering motor? If you're going to take this apart to move the rack you may want to add a clutch in too. |

A very impressive start. I have very little experience of power functions but Senator's advice (below) is spot on. Move the rack back if possible. Good luck. I can't wait to see finished. |

The 'rack' in your rack & pinion system is very far forward, try moving it back a stud or two. Also, try placing it where it'll go once mounted before you build all the framework and gearing around it. |

My only thought is don't use the ball joint system - they are not good for holding the steering tight and you get 'toe' as you rightly say. But without using them, suspension is much harder to do. My RC has no suspension (it's too heavy anyway) and uses an old fashioned technic rack. |

I have had a few issues myself, not with power functions, but with trying to get the steering rack to clear a front diff, I ended up with a rack 1 hole in front of normal, then a the steering arms coming of the side of the rack instead of the top, so keeping the arms parallel.

Well, I am useless at power functions. But the way I see it, you should probably take out the M-motor and instead put the micro-motor in. That is probably the easiest way, for you just have to use a gear that would connect to the steering rack. |
