yeah me too there maybe a chance of small piece of gravel that gets lodged in there and the result is no steering,
time will tell eh?

what about creating a lexan mould or something around the steering rack?
of course it is a lot of work but i think it might help ^^

How about driving the thing first before building stuff for it.

Mine is pre-ordered and I reckon it's going to be cracking

[shark]

Exactly , we dont know theres a problem to solve !!!

[Chris56]

Surely months of testing on US dirt tracks would have highlighted any issues with regards grit getting trapped. Perhaps that could just be wishful thinking cos I WANT ONE!

[Thargor]

this car is going to be awesome.. read all the reviews.. seen all the videos.. want one .....

I see on tlracing.com that the hrc rear pivot and most non-kit pieces won't be available till may..... hope this doesn't include springs.

Is it Kyosho that make 12mm springs that will fit?

The steering rack is so simple with one moving part and it is as free as many ball raced set-ups I have built before.

As Racer's online build mentions, the idea of the grooves is to ensure dirt doesnt affect the action. Of course with the US only racing on dirt tracks, if anyone would find a problem it will be a TLR test driver.

The tolerances (gap between fixed and sliding moulding) are incredibly small to avoid slop and create a smooth action. The open side of the rack system faces towards the rear of the car so the chances of dirt getting in I think is pretty low.

I believe JE spares will be getting most parts in this friday. Not sure whether that includes the HRC blocks or not though

I had the spares in today and the only bits i didn't get was the front shock shafts and front inner hinge pins. Don't know if i was left out as other suppliers bought them all or Horizon didn't get any from Losi.
