22SCT 2.0 Bell Crank steering into 22SCT
Hey all,
just upgraded my std rack steering in my 22sct to the new 2.0 22 steering bell crank system. Whoa, what an improvement!
A heads up for those who might upgrade their own cars as there are a few minor probs i came across.
1. The instructions call for a small nyloc nut under the threaded ball stud the servo connects to. It is NOT supplied, you have to use your existing nut from the steering rack assembly.
2. You can't use the provided steering arms, they are too short. (Must be for the buggy). Use the ball cups provided and screw them onto your existing steering rods. They supply two that are offset, they are for the crank end and the other two std ones go onto the spindle.
3. The spindles supplied CANNOT be used as they foul on the caster block and rob you of at least half your turning circle. Use your existing ones (i just screwed on the new ball stud provided).
Other than that it was a breeze. I believe that the steering rods and spindles supplied are for the 2wd 2.0 buggy.
Hope this helps someone out there in tech land.
Cheers.
