Is it just the turn buckle? .950 length 3 mm will work.The set scews come loose and alum parts spin .My Car is Ruthless.No real set up ,so when it's dialed any tap into a brd at speed really affects the car Much less being in a head on..lol

could you tell me where to get the 2.97 mm x 12 turn buckle ? I reordered the whole blue arm set to get the little turnbuckle, a set of rims, an axle after closer looks or what happened I ordered parts from rcmart and its going to be 4 weeks tell I can fix it..

Later in the day a little less droop and a reduction of the steering angle helped this problem. I then cured it by taking out 1mm of the rear inner camber link shims After that I could increase the steering angle again and finally got some consistent runs





By the way: Has anybody already driven the new Ford Mustang? Does it have a good performance?
How did you extend the ball cup in the steering bridge? I also need the linkage to be in horizontal. If I don't put spacers in the bridge it's angled. And the steering radius is not even.

It is all just shims in combination with the Tamiya servosaver.
Can you post a picture of your steering setup, please.

Hey wtcc,Tell me about your turn buckle set up.
I notice an Alum bridge /diff mnt that ball cup attaches to.I know You make some parts too.
Set up looks way better than the one I have
Thanks, Ric

The car consists of original Tamiya parts only.
I really don’t know what I did different, but here are more pics of the steering and front of the car:

If you look at thercracer website in his guide he talks about steering for the TT02 and the parts needed to get what you're looking for.

Bear in mind it used to be that you needed to get several different hop ups to make it work but you don't anymore.

Tamiya #54752 has all of it. It's way cheaper than buying the individual pieces separately.

I actually let Craig/thercracer know and being the a cool guy that he is, he's updating his site.

They make some really long setscrews. That looks like the nut ballstud, so I supsect there's a 15mm (ish) setscrew in there.
