| 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.
