Im trying to work around a rule that was just included. No bent axles. Im sure someone tested drilling the hole a certain degrees for steer instead of a bent axle. I’ll lose the ability to adjust but thinking any steer is better than nothing.
Thanks for any help

This has been a known issue for a few weeks, they just decided to make it abundantly clear instead of burying the rule in the FAQ section.

Try one of our 5-bushing drill jigs. The 5th bushing is set at an angle to give you about 4" of steer over 4 ft WITHOUT bending an axle.

Hey Jester...

One important thing to remember about stock scout axles.... They are almost ALL bent.... You can get a bit of steer with that... Even if it is just some.

Ask me about the Mojo Pinewood Academy! If you are interested in reducing the learning curve and learning how to properly build and prep your car, I can help you turn your cars into Hot Rods!

Lol, That’s kind of what I was thinking. Any steer at all is better than no steer
