I also made a video on the Laid-Back Blazer (https://www.autoxandtrack.com/laid-backs-too-nice-to-race-k5-blazer/). Check out the build details!

I want that steering ratio! Looks like he is less than half a turn on the steering wheel for most of the course. Any idea how many turns lock-to-lock he has? Or better yet how far the wheel turns for a given steering input?

I'm currently getting 10deg steering angle for half a turn of the steering wheel with a 14:1 ratio box on my Nova, 2-3/4 turn lock-to-lock.

The speedtech extreme speed stuff comes with an expensive racing rack. It's 12.7:1.

Thanks for the info - much appreciated. I am not sure how the ratio is defined for a R&P, but I'll read up.
