Advice on steering

Post by blubblood »

I have a NIX aluminum chassis and the steering servo has an east-west orientation and the recommended steering bellcranks are 3d printed pieces and I would really prefer alloy pieces. Is there a steering setup from a newer rc10 or another vehicle that will work with this chassis? Here is a pic of the configuration I need.

Maybe Niki could make a printed metal version available? Its a matter of clicking a button. I dont know any that would bolt right up

Sassy Chassis made an aluminum set years ago that would work. But I wouldn't expect to find one any time soon.

And 10 minutes after I click submit someone will say.....I have a set for ya. :lol:

There is a Sassy Chassis version on epay and I'm close to clicking the button, but wondered if there were other options.

your option is to hit that BIN button before someone else comes in and swoops it out of your hands :wink:

You should be able to use standard worlds steering in the normal configuration if you rather. Those Sassy bellcranks look nice..

The idea was there to make alloy bellcranks, nose tube mounts and a few other bits and pieces. I haven't found the right person though :(

Nice find. I was searching for the same solution. I might stick with the 3D plastic ones of now, or get creative on the mill...

you can make a set a heck of a lot cheaper than 50 bucks.....depending on how much you 'pay' yourself.

of course, those 3d printed parts are probably stronger than you realize.

also, you could retrofit B2/B3/T3 parts if you wanted. Not metal, but not printed either.

Yeah, looking at how simple it is, I could never justify $50 on some bits of aluminum.

If I find myself bored this weekend, I may play around with making some out of some scrap that I have laying around, although for the time being the car is driving around with a standard servo/bellcrank setup.
