    Slow heavy steering???

    What can I do to make my Rocket turn easier. We have a pump on the front of the motor and a .375 servo if im not mistaken. After a few laps the steering is just really heavy and the car is hard to correct.

    How "fresh" is the fluid? Does it have any water in it?
    Bill W. and Dr. Bob......who could have known.

        we run sweets with the servos on the rack and ours are 220-250 if were turning the wheel alot we use a 220 if were on a long track we use a 235-250,220 is easy 235 is in the middle and 250 has a ton of feel to it

          I have a KRC pump and didnt like the feel of the steering on my rocket. Called them and ended up changing the flow control in it and now steers much better.May not be your problem but worth checking. Mine didnt flow enough volume which made it steer hard

            I'd be changing that servo valving. I didn't even know Sweet made a valving that heavy. Heaviest I have heard of is a .300 and only a few guys run anything that heavy. Bloomquist used to...not sure if he does anymore.
