TC4 Front CVD replacement options
Hi Folks. New to the forum but old in RC racing.
I have a brand new TC4 that I am loving so far except one thing. The front cvds don't have enough travel in them for full steering. I researched and found the LOSA 3344 trick, but those parts are near impossible to find now, and saw a Youtube vid where a guy fixed it using Associated parts, but he didn't list part numbers or what they came off of, so not much help there. I would like to run full steering and not adjust with dual rates. Does anyone know of a solution with a different double-jointed part than the 3344?

There are really two tc4 DCJ mods:
#1: BERT mod losi losa3344...
#2: Will mod tc6.2 DCJ(#31632)+ tc6.2 steering hubs...
The Will mod might also clear the way for you to use other manufacturer's DCJ drives with 5mm axles, but you will need to fit/shim them correctly... Cheers.....

Awesome. Thank you so much for your help! Do you mean the caster blocks, or the steering arms?

Tc7 arms chubs steering knuckles and dcjs. It a laundry kist of parts but it will work.

You probably don't need the TC7 arms. TC7 knuckles plus either TC7 or TC6.1/6.2 C hubs are probably sufficient. You can use TC6.1/6.2 knuckles but the TC7 ones are closer to TC4 geometry regarding bump steer. You'll also need appropriate hardware (eg ball bearings, king pin bushings).

Not the caster blocks. Steering arms/hubs are where the bearings fit to hold the axles... There seems to be another tc7 DCJ mod coming up for the tc4 soon... The tc4 is so versatile....wow.... Cheers....
