Where the tie rod ends attach to it determines Ackermann, which is how much more the inside front wheel turns than the outside one through a corner. Get it right and the car turns in cleanly and holds its line; get it wrong and one front tire scrubs across the surface, which costs you both steering and tire life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it sits at the front of the chassis and carries the full load of every steering input, it also takes a beating in impacts. On a 1\/7 scale buggy those loads are substantial, and a bent plate skews the steering geometry so the car pulls to one side and has a different turning radius left versus right. That is a maddening fault to diagnose if you have not thought to check the plate itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the genuine Kyosho part, so it restores factory steering geometry exactly rather than approximating it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PowerHobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67607143416121,"sku":"KYOSX032","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/7814\/6105\/files\/kyosx032.jpg?v=1791290460","url":"https:\/\/boxofrocksrc.com\/products\/kyosho-sx032-steering-plate-scorpion-xxl","provider":"Box of Rocks RC LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
