Default you can do in

For sc430 seat full reclining In the initial type sc430,
I removed the seat back gear stopper and was able to full recline in the full range of motion from the rear end to the front end without any restrictions.
Details are explained on YouTube.
I would like to inform owners of the early model sc430 around the world. Apologies if this method has already been published.

I hate to be the guy who dumps on everybody's fun, but the seat stop is there to prevent the seat from collapsing backwards during a rear end collision. Just saying.

Thank you for pointing out my doubts on an important point. If you watch the removed parts in my tube video and see how they work in real life, the removed parts only limit the range of motion and do nothing to maintain the overall seatback angle. There is no change in strength when being hit from behind. Small plastic-held parts have no inherent role in resisting impact. For safety, the driver must consider what seatback angle to drive. If you want to take a break, you can tilt it all the way to the back. The points to be careful about are explained in the video, but since the operating range is expanded, continuous operation from the front end to the rear end puts more load on the motor than before, so be careful of heat generation and battery consumption.

LOL. I'm glad your excited about the mod. I love people trying to improve and make things cooler. And I will admit I didn't watch the video because it's not a mod I am interested in. That doesn't lesson its value. I just posted a warning. As long as you do not impact the seats safety, I'm all for it. :-)
