rc10 steering unit

[zoomzoombang]

hi,

looks like the steering that came with my World's is kaput. Which of these should be the one to go for. Not fussed about keeping it original, just dependable. Unfortunately both sold by the same person that seem not to be liked too much by this forum. No associations with the seller. Thanks.

i would go for the a&l/factory works set in the second link. that set is listed as mip but they are not the mip ones. the a&l steering arms are personally my favorite.

I've had my eye on these for a while now. Think I'll pick some up eventually. They're actually sold by a member here on the forum. If I remember right, his name is Atlas on this site. Just pick up some bearings and you'd be all set:

No bearings, but these are geometerically the same as the World's bellcranks. You'll need the screws, spring/nut, and aluminum tube. The screws are still available, the tube and nut are sold under the Factory Team line, but I'm not sure about the spring. Unless one of the newer ones will fit, you can always just lock the servo saver part together.

if you want to use some readily available parts and are handy with tools, you can use the traxxas bellcrank set #2543.

see near the end of the second page for some pics of how I put them on.

the only thing I have to check is to make sure the holes aren't too loose for #4 screws. I think they will be fine, but I just haven't checked for sure. If not, I'll add some glue to improve the threads.
