As many of u quadzilla owners know, the zilla doesnt have a very sharp turning radius. I was wondering if there is anuthing that can be done to make it turn sharper. I was thinking about making a extender plate that would attach where the tie rods connect to the stem and then the tierods connect on the end of the plate away from the stem. Stupid idea? Let me know if u have any ideas. Thank you....Herbert

Your idea of the "extender plate" is spot on, apparently moving the tie rod ends back one inch is the hot setup and should get the beasty steering alot sharper. (I've seen this mod recommended elsewhere by one of the magazines but damned if I can find the reference). Let us know how it works out.
