Truck99 Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Asphalt - power steering with no quick steer. 12:1 box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrss1 Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 bad thing about quick steer is if you lose power steering you just doubled the amount of arm strength it will take to turn the wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 On asphalt quick steering tends to make the car "twitchy." Little driver inputs produce large steering outputs with quick steering. On dirt, except on dry slick tracks, the steering can be quicker because the driver will be making large steering corrections quickly when you go from loose in the turns to "bite" down the straights and when throwing the car into the turns. If the steering is too slow the car can get "ahead" of the driver who spends all his time sawing on the steering wheel. We often see dirt mods (with quick steering) making the change to asphalt with steering that is too quick, resulting in "twitchy" corner exits.

poorboy Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I like quick steer but get the 1.5 to1 for asphault. Always run power steering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 My first car on dirt didn't have quick steer, but when I got my second car it did and it makes a world of difference. I will not race a dirt car with out quick steer there is just to much steering involved. like nick said if ou run it on asphalt you have to keep in mind that you have it because you can easily over correct. but if you are going to run quick steer power steering is a must. I have seen guys that lift 300 lbs not be able to drive a quick steer car that loses its power steering. most everyone I have seen that doesn't have power steering with or without quick steer usually has to use a 17" steering wheel to make it easier to turn.

poorboy Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Nick, did you think it wasn't going to happen? Ralph the quick steer works fine on the asphalt. You will get used to it , I will never run without one dirt or asphalt. I just think the 1.5 is better on asphalt than the 2 to 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
