Losi xx4 Bellcrank
 

I have just started running a losi xx4 worlds & love it, but I have found the steering bellcranks very weak and dam costly:mad: . Would any one know if the is a better after market part out there??

Cheers

What is happening to it is it snapping or are the splines striping???

A

simple answer is no...

I will go on the assumption you are stripping the splines as Ashley mentioned as I cannot see how else they would break?

You can do one of two things:

1) Get a servo saver i.e. KO or similar (I run the KO small version)

2) Use a washer under the screw where the horn attaches onto the Steering Spline. BUT remember...if the spline is stripped then most likely the horn is damaged too so both parts ideally would need to be replaced before this is done.

Another one i was told to do when i kept stipping mine was to get a new one and put a touch of superglue on to the splines the put it on in the correct place. Then get the longest screw you can fit in the hole i recomend using a countersunk one and then get a countersunk washer and put the countersunk washer on the screw and tighten as much as possible. But i did what mat said but with a touch of super glue never stripped one since.

we drill the hole twice as deep as is now, and add one small washer that fits inside the recess and one across the top, that covers the whole top make sure the new bolt is as deep as your new hole ,never had a problems since then

Thanks for all your help!I have broken the bellcrank were the balls & nuts for the trackrods go through. but having now had a look at the car I have noticed that the splines are stripping too so I shall take your advice contacting DC racing tmro to see if he has the parts.

Thanks all
