Nice pic,

hadn't noticed that until I looked closer at the pic. Might be a good thing to run. Wonder if you can lock it out like using some CA in the plastic setup, only not using CA?

Hopefully it uses ball bearings to eliminate the slop.

Alu steering, would it be something similar to this?

That's it..it's a one piece unit so you don't have to worry about a servo saver.

Some places have this can. Much nicer for spraying an even layer. Not sure why this came up in an electric thread though, mostly for gas stuff.

Been running the alu. rack since last spring on sct and t4. love it. much more direct feeling and no more "oh crap, my car won't turn, I wonder if the servo save backed off". Or if you glue it "oh crap I just hit a tube, hope I don't have to replace my servo saver"

I meant in the akerman plat to servo arms connection. that is where most of the slop occurs.

Gluing the saver on the plastic steer rack is more better than a aluminum version .

The plastic flex's & saves the servo instead....

Should edit your post then .....


You think the aluminum ones would not have
any play between the parts ?

Cus
they have the same play as the plastic if you did not know ...

On Brent theilke setup it calls for ghea #3 rear piston. What regular ae piston would compare? Also he calls for 3/4 oz behind servo? How do u put weight behind the servo? Pics would be nice. Lol

Use a #2 piston or a #3 drilled out to 55.

Put the 3/4 oz in front of the servo.

It is actually placed behind the servo (if you have room) or in front of the battery.
