Default Some bling for the DRX

Yesterday, I went to my LHS to pick up a few spares for my DRX...got myself some a-arms, spur gear and steering knuckles, but I also picked up Kyosho's
"steering wiper set"...to me it looks like a bell crank

Apparently, it should give a better steering geometry and smoother steering and for 20 bucks, I figured why not?

Here's a few pics:




The set can be used for both the standard plastic version and the alu version.

Installing the new linkage is fairly easy, it does require a bit of trimming of the kit parts, but nothing major.
Here's a pic of it installed:


I tried to get a good picture of the wheels, to show the new ackerman angle, but it distorts somewhat...


You also get some adj. turnbuckles for the linkage as well as a new longer servo horn.

So, how does it drive?
To be honest, I haven't driven it enough to form an opinion, just a quick spin to make sure everything was working...but I don't think it will make a huge difference.
But it looks nice

That sucks the one wheel is all jacked up like that. Let us know how it does. The steering on mine seems to get suck out of place a lot then the servo will set there and hum.

Check and tighten your servo saver?
