New steering parts
 

Will they allow for more steering lock? I've been struggling with a larger turning circle than I'd like.

They certainly look the business though, are these available now?

They will help get the inside wheel in the car to lock more, chill the car out into a turn and give more through the turn.

There will also be a longer cross link available that will increase lock, however i always take a little material away from the chassis to allow the arms more travel.

I've been running the protos for a while and ran these new ones today! they are slighlty better than the prototypes as these ones are orange :thumbsup:

The longer cross-link (2mm longer) was in use this weekend at The Players - thanks to Kev K.

These new arms are also a slightly revised ackerman. They should help make the car less darty at speed and give more pivot through the corner.

do we know a price for these yet?

bling bling ....are they available???and also are they double faced? i mean no modification needed to convert the steering for stick pack. Want to squeeze them into my forthcoming order....

The ones availabe are for stick pack layout, but i think Lewis will be producing both types. I believe he has a fair few in the first batch, but get your order in quick to make sure you get some!

They are a definate improvement over the standard ones :thumbsup:

i guess we dont have a part nr yet? need to call lewis and order over the phone right?

Not sure about part number... best bet is as you say, give Lewis a call and he'll sort you out

That would be great Yanina, prefer to send an email cause we have big time difference ( i live in Vancouver- canada), please keep an eye. Want other stuff too (plastic chassis,ali servo posts, etc etc...) order + email is coming :thumbsup:

is it needed to also change the Steering link (xc016) for another one when using these new steering parts?

any news yet on the numbers of these new parts?

yep
part number for the links xx004

a definet paec to have on the car and a graet inprovemend.

i do not see this on web site...
price of this?

feniks, and did you use the new orange steering parts with or without the new steering (cross) link?

I should imagine with a new link it'll be about £50.

:o:thumbdown:

he ludo I used the new croslink aswel .
the price I think was the same as the old standard blue wones

Anyone tried the new cross link with the old blue steering parts??

My dad spoke to Lewis yesterday, the parts will be around £20-£30 for the set.

Im not sure whats included but im guessing the two orange arms, and a new link?

I may be wrong but im sure someone will clear this up :thumbsup:

Excellent. my guess was based upon the x11 steering upgrade which retails at about £60.

I wonder what the next parts to go orange will be?

Well mine came on thursday as mentioned ,and it had the new orange steering parts, a new steering link , and 2 ball bearings. So i guess its going to be a complete set.

;););)

well, the more Orange the more I would like it :)
Orange 's my colour :)

SO you bought an X11 with the stickpack-mod allready made?
Is there any news about the new stickpack-body (without battery-slots)?

I ordered one, if available but haven't heared nothing yet.

No no i just ordered the new updated orange steering parts,,,, i already have an X11.

£40 get yous the two orange steering arms, a link and the two bearings which sit in the link.

Got mine today, all fitted and ready to role!:thumbsup:

are these special bearings?
I should think the old ones would do, no?

Yep, they use the same bearings

Quick question Kev, what size turnbuckle do you use with the pushrod moved inwards?

I took it off the rear of a losi xxx 2wd, not sure of the size. I also dremelled off a couple off mm from each end to give enough adjustment.

One thing i think is important on the front with the new position is to cut the balljoint down in length as it allows more uptravel. I run a 3mm limiter in the front shocks aswell.

Cool, try it how it is at the moment with the standard position and move it tomorrow if i feel i needs to.

Tah, Tom

with this steering parts, change the ackermann angle?
because use a link and nothing a long turnbuckles for change the ackermann?
