Moving the front axle foreward, what do I need to do?

Post by Jay18 » Tue Nov 12, 2013 3:59 pm

I'm looking at moving the front axle foreward on my 410

I know I need to redrill the holes in the axle perch and the bottom plates, I'm going to get a prop spacer just to be on the safe side

Will this change the steering in any way? Will I have to loosen anything or adjust anything else when I do this?
