What is the best way of limiting the steering angle so as to stop the drive shaft contacting the out drive?

Best way is to use the EPA setting on your transmitter.

If you use foam tires on carpet the current spring is way too soft. Even without hitting the boards the aluminum outdrives will be destroyed and the shaft will be badly marked.
You can replace the spring in the servo saver with a harder one or you can glue the servo saver and use one stronger on the servo.
You can also screw a ballstud underneath the steering block in the first hole, cover it with silicon fuel line and carefully adjust the EPA.

I have glued little rubber patches (thickness 2-3 mm) behind c-hubs. These prevents steering blocks to turn too much. I also use the EPA setting on my transmitter.

Hi Nick,

I put some images
If you do something like this you must check regularly the silicon because it gets destroyed.
