07117 Steering part... KIA

How come nobody online anywhere has this part number in stock? I'm dead in the water until I can get this part. Really all I need is the bushing out of the part, but I don't know the specs of it to just search for a bushing. If anyone has any laying around, could you please eyeball in mm, the height, width, and length for me? Only if you have one laying around, too much hassel to take it out. Thank you all, hopefully most of you know what I'm talking about.

Mine fell out a long time ago and I just replaced them with parts from Ace Hardware. Ace carriers flanged nylon spacers which fit perfect. All you have to do is trim em to length.


To replace the inner threaded bushings you can use metal tee nuts made to be pressed into plywood. Ace also carries these. They have a 5mm tee nut which its perfect. You do however have to trim the spikes off to grab the wood and then dremel the flange down some. Just leave about 1.5mm of the flange. It's not that much work. I think I spent about 10 minutes on each one.

Thank you

I'll keep my fingers crossed. I looked at Redcat parts search and tried to find something similar, but I cant tell from the pictures just how big or small the spacers actually are. Keep me posted? :) Just got my hpi adapters and new tires, and waiting on 7075 steering to come in next...

Hell the black nylon flanged busings from Ace Hardware fit perfectly with zero slop. You just have to sand/file them to length.

Is there a part number for these?
