Steering update

[strodedawg]

the rack is solid took a hard hit from a losi and is fine. the shock servo saver's shaft broke and the servo arm also. Hitec servo took hit like a champ. maybe a thicker center link for durability and maybe some bearing in the link

so when will this thing be ready?

Hey O'l fart have you got any steering racks made up and ready to sell? I know your still working out the servo saver part, that does not bother me ,I just want the rack.

Cheers Jon

Any news to report, when will it be up on your site?

 

[Knuckles]

Hopefully soon, my vehicles are in pieces right now and would be nice to put them back together with new steering racks.

 

[Ol' fart]

Funny you should ask that. just got in 100 bearings and I'm going to run a test batch in the next week or two. This is my Grafil build. I'll have to make a new upper plate.

 

[Sergio]

I want one of those bad boys.

 

[Knuckles]

I need two of them, for the xt and xbe

I'm at a loss on what makes this one so much better than the aluminum one redcat sells

The Redcat version still uses the cheesy undersized ackerman bar.

So I guessing it will come as a complete set......rack and upper plate?

No upper plate. The stock one or aftermarket ones will work, It won't work on my Grafil build because my front diff is not tilted up at 10 degrees

 

[Guest]

Ahhhhh... I was trying to figure out why the plate did not look square in the pic.

 

[Ol' fart]

Caster is achieved by inverting the front suspension arms axle insert(adjust bushes). back one low, front one high.

When will steering rack be available?

Second Tuesday of next week.
