      It s about time I fixed up my xmod steering – can anyone point me to a tutorial or give me some info on how to do the resistor mod to decrease the turning circle?
      Thanks.

      have a peek here:

      the pictures are explanation enough really. all you do is remove the brown and orange wires from the servo pot and add a 4.7 – 10k resistor to each one and resolder. the attached pic is my modded servo. you can use much smaller resistors than these, down to 1/8 of a watt:8ball:

      works well, I did it last night using two 8.2K surface mount resistors. you also need to shave the tie rod down in the area’s shown on ikinari’s page.

      also you should shave 1-2mm off the servo thingy, when fully turned to the right, the white thing hits the diff…

      cheers,
