Steering fuel line mod??

[leetmodz]

I keep hearing about it but I haven't found a tutorial on it yet.


What exactly do you have to do with the fuel line?

Bumping...

you might be talking about when some will put about an 1/8" of fuel tube inside the cups to keep the bones for rattling back n forth...

Or could mean replacing the spring on the brake line with fuel tube for better response....

Can't think of anything else...

Nice try but no, I really read about something that pops out on the steering assembly when turning hard at high speeds. As far as I could understand, it seems to be related with the linkage between the servo arm and the steering post arm.

That would be the axles , I took a pce of 3/8 OD rubber hose stuffed in the DIFF hubs to keep the axle towards the wheel hubs . only needs to be about 1/8 to 3/16 thick .

Ya, I've read somewhere that someone fed some fuel line onto the linkage bar between the steering arms...I can't seem to find the post though.

On this part....

IMO I don't think that would serve any purpose. It would not make it stronger. Rigidity is the only need for improvement. I have seen that piece bend on bad landings. You can use larger material for the link, or weld two together for added strength.

It didnt help me I read that mod also,ran fuel line the the steering linkage but it rubbed the top plate a little causeing some binding.If its the same mod your talking about it suppose to keep that linkage from poping out.I removed it .waiting on 7075 for steering linkage hop up.Hmm I wonder if there been any progress.I know O.F is a busy Guy.

The xbe's steering link has a lot to be desired imo, the metal link rod bends, so I made one out of carbon, You can't see it in the picture, but I also inserted to bushes in the carbon plate so the screws don't bind and it can pivot freely, works a treat.....

Nice mod, that "U" rod makes the steering really sloppy and needs a better solution right out of the box
