All right, I looked around and really didn't fine anything on a how to about this so i'll write one up. If you got questions please feel free to ask.
I guess the tools needed are what ever you want. I use a very sharp knife but with this method you need to be very carefull as you don't want to be missing any flangies at the end of this process. Another great tool which may be better is a Dremal with a small sanding wheel maybe 1/4" this method may do a prettier job. Anyhow on to what counts.
I have linked a picture below with numbers on it this pict shows where you need to trim to allow for more clearance. I have a note below describing what to look for.
1.Trim this edge off so the shaft (round cylinder on Hub) has clearance for maximum turn.
2. There is a little square bump stop here which must be removed so it is flush with the rest of the hub carier.
3. You must take the radius out of this piece(Hub) for clearance. (It doesn't need to be compleatly removed but the majority does)
4 & 5. You need to remove this edge some to allow clearance expecial where the #4 is.
Next step do this in all 4 locations on both sides of the Hub and to both sides of the truck.
You can see where you are if you turn the Hub pieces back and forth and make sure you have enought clearance every where.
Just another pict of it.
Threw this process you could add a longer servo horn to your servo and adjust the end points on your steering servo if you have digital remote which will alow you to go to 125% of the servo stroke.
You may also need to do some trimming on the Steering bell crank for maximum turn radious. There are 2 spots on it which need to be trimmed. This is the part that link the tires togather.
Hope this information helps.
