RC10T with Worlds Steering

[DaveM]

Hi Guys,

I finally got round to replacing the long stock steering bellcranks on my RC10T runner with a set

of re-re worlds bellcranks,

Woohoo, It is steering much better no more wobbling and darting around while under power.

Cheers, Dave.

That's the same problem I had Dave, wouldn't track straight and not nearly as predictable as the later style.

Hi RJ,

I'm glad it worked

Cheers, Dave.

That looks like a nice clean truck dave, the white is pretty crisp. I take it you only use it as a light runner? I love those tires but they're discontinued.

I can't wait to get my GT runner up and going.

Hi RJ,

Yep just a light runner, laps of the street in front of my house, I have been slowly taking the good

white bits off for another project. The only original parts are the front bulkhead, front body mount

brace, shock ends and bumper.

Whaaat?! how come that conversion worked for you? I had really bad bump-steer issues when I converted mine. Bump steer is when you compress the suspension, the steering changes. It was so bad I converted it back to stock 10T.

It's all about getting the height right. If you had them assembled improperly or didn't have the outer ball ends shimmed with washers those could have contributed, but otherwise it shouldn't have changed anything as far as ball joint height which is where the bump steer would come from

Hi yellowdatsun,

Jeffs right, I assembled the truck with 2 x ASC 6936 #4 aluminium washers per steering block under the ball

stud as per page 6 of the RC10 Worlds manual.

Here is Brian Kinwalds Worlds setup,

Under race and vehicle comments, bottom left,

I see he is using 3mm thickness of bump steer washers.
