Yeah I ended up putting button heads on the bottom

Mnster · 06-08-2007, 04:07 AM

How are the holding up, any issues at all?

Fishmaxx · 06-08-2007, 04:25 AM

Mnster, nothing obvious

According to the drawing the original hole must have been around 5.5mm which sounds about right because I had to remove very little material to get the bearing to press in

X2...great idea and with the 3x6mm flanged bearings that Fishmaxx used, this sounds great.

I thought I would post a pic with the flanged bearing. I found them online for $1 each. I also shaved my Fat Rock C's and aluminum knuckles for maximum steering with my CVD's.

Saweeeet!!!

Mnster · 08-20-2007, 09:57 PM

Mine is still working great with the unflanged.

no issues.

Just posting so I can find this easier when I get my new C's. Was waiting for stainless, but it looks like I'll be getting the aluminum clocked C's instead.

Fishmaxx · 09-26-2007, 03:59 PM

Nova's Ark, That looks very close to the way I did it ..........cept yours looks purtyer

Nice job

They have to be pretty short or they will pass through the knuckle and contact the shaft.

If noone else chimes in, I can measure mine when I get home this evening.

I used this mod on the old style C's from some other company. Before the Fat Rocks. Don't remember who made those. I used flange bearings in mine. I had them come up from the knuckle side. Had to trim the knuckle tip a little, but this prevents the knuckle from moving up or down even if a screw backs out a little.

It is a great mod!

Anybody else done this and if so post a parts list of what you came up with and used for your steering mod.

dieselfuel · 03-05-2008, 09:02 PM

ive got an extra pair of fatrock Cs and some flanged bearings, im gonna give this a try.

LIKES2CRAWL · 03-07-2008, 08:40 PM

Ok I want to do this to my C's but I can't see me paying $8 for 2 bearings + shipping cause my LHS dosn't have any. Any ideas on where to get bearings for cheap?

I buy all my bearings from AVID http://www.avidrc.com/ . They are a RC site , that offers bearings and brake pads for nirto RCs . They ship fast and at a fair price & with every order you get a free sticker sheet (everyone loves stickers) .
