210 steering rack
 

Is there another steering rack from another buggy that fits and works well?
I broke mine at the DHI cup and just want the rack not all the other parts on the tree that come with the rack.

Otherwise it may have to be a CF one, might just try my hand at making one myself

I also broke mine at the weekend and will have a home made CF part ready for this weekend.

do the rack and a brace

Im happy with the brace, I don't see the need for that bling as yet, although Im intreseted in the chassis? Is it available yet, earlier it wasn't as there was more testing to do

I'm not sure, but I think plates with glass fibres/FRP or aluminium are worth trying as well. I recall being told by Fibre-Lyte that the lesser rigidity of glass layers (in their CSC, Carbon Silica Carbon?) plates is compensated by a slightly better impact strength. Alu might also be worth a try because it's not as brittle as carbon.

Anyway, I was surprised by how lightweight the whole steering rack is built, the steering plate in particular. So how often/easily is it broken?

Anyone have a picture of the brace?

The atomic carbon racks are very good quality and match the geometry of the original TD one, unlike the Akula one (unless they have changed it)

Racers edge do an aluminium one

I tried and made my own, the outside isn't real nice but the holes line up like the original, that has to be the important part right.

I have just ordered the Atomic Carbon one so i'll post some pictures when its fitted.

I broke mine on a awkward landing last friday night. Snapped in the thin section where the screw goes into.

An Atomic Carbon one just arrived in the post to replace :)

Where are you racing on Fridays?
