Hey letsride,
Really sorry about the steering issue, but it sounds like you came up with the perfect solution. It sounds like that might have been a defect in the part, but also the manufacturers tend to engineer these little quads with a big turning radius for safety reasons. We've had comments on various vehicles that they don't turn sharp enough. My son has a Tao T-Force that feels like it turns really wide, but he doesn't notice so I haven't bothered to try to correct it. I've seen some folks modify the linkage to get the radius they want; especially on gokarts.
Glad to hear you got it worked out, and hope the little guy has a big time on his new ride! Again, please don't hesitate to let us know if you need anything in future.
Have a Merry Christmas!
