One of the first hop-ups I put on my 10T racer BITD was the MIP ball bearing steering kit. I never really cared for how it mounted to the chassis (and removed the two nose plate screws in the process), but I liked the kit otherwise, so I came up with a better way. I replaced the MIP kit screws with two of the right hand #7306 nose plate/bell crank screws, boring out the MIP posts so they fit over them.

Here are some shots from a recent 10T build where I used the same technique:





This works fine with the MIP RC10 buggy steering kit as well.

i used long 8/32 stainless screws on mine. i then slid over a piece of 3/16" aluminum tubing cut to 13/32" long to take place of the bearing post. then used 3/16" axle shims along with a 3/32 thin nut underneath to set proper height/bumpsteer adjustments. it works really good and with the stainless screws it's bulletproof.

got to love that, ball raced steering is tops, great job guys im on it today.

Thanks for the additional input, wyldbill. The title of this thread has been changed accordingly.
