| Steering Link/Setup with 8 Degree Chubs/Knuckles?
Got the VP hubs and knuckles and failed to realize that the stock SCX steering link isn't usable after these are installed. Is there anyone that makes a steering link for this application or do I need to bust out the 8-32, 1/4 tube and Traxxas links. Update: I talked to VP and they said their going to forward my request (A bent steering link for stock SCX-10's with 8 degree chubs/knuckles) to their R&D department and gave me some tips on link sizes etc.. In the meantime, I stopped during lunch at PepBoys (Yes PepBoys) and got Traxxas 5347 ends, wide 12mm hubs (to clearance front wheels/tires) and 1/4 brake line. I then shot down to the Home Depot and picked up some lengths of 8-32 rod. So for a total of around $45 I have enough materials to build link's and linkages for my two trucks.

I had to make mine, havnt found any one that makes these. You might be able to reuse old alum links if you have and maybe part together some of the shorter pieces? idk, good luck though Those parts are what i use, and use them to make all links so if your apt, have at it ;) |
