I installed the steering assembly upgrade today. After assembling the three pieces at 4:10 there is more play than with the original plastic part. I wish the holes in the rod connecting the bellcranks were a tiny bit tighter.
@@MauzyrockRC Good idea! I noticed the play is less once everything is fully installed. Will check how it drives and add a shim if required. The servo mount upgrade is next.
@@sumerland78 Cool. I have only had a chance to run mine 2 times since winter started. I think the servo may be a weak point. So maybe that will get swapped then I'll see about other upgrades too :)
Yup. Looks good!!! Always a good upgrade. Probably adds a little weight maybe? Mental Note. When using your grinding wheels. They get worn down to the smaller diameters. Most people throw them away. I keep them just for this purpose. Smaller diameter wheel = less damage to the frame. Just thought I would mention it. :) Excellent video once again
Awesome to hear. It was pretty light bit of kit, maybe a gram or two heavier. I thought there may have been bearings included... alas nope. Oh yeah, I never thought about keeping the worn down cut off wheels, the one I used was pretty worn, and yeah I think I made much smaller a gash in the chassis than a full sized one. Good tip! Thanks so much!
What I know of so far is hobbydetailsretails.myshopify.com/collections/cen-racing-1-8-rc-car-upgrades-parts As for tyres, I am going to try the ones from my HPI WR8. I think the HExs are the same.
Mauzy ! Man, this stripped screw is the worst but you did fine with that sh... ahaah take care and awesome vid. Have fun with that car ( when the weather allows you to :D )
Your tool was stripped not the screw you can clearly see also an MiP tool would of removed it no problem and you used a ball end hex which is only used for tight angles.
Thank you very much for sharing. Beautiful video 👍
Hey thanks! My pleasure!

Oh! I did not notice any more or less slop on mine. That is too bad though. Can you make a lexan shim or something to take up the slack?

Nice looking and tough upgrade for it! Should not have any more issues with that in there!
Oh she’s a beauty! 7075 should hold up as longs as I dont smash all the parts around it 🤣😂🤣 Cheers!
Belle job tu parle bien l'anglais moi pas dutout
Ah merci. Je suis un rare Terre-Neuvien Bilingue ;)
Possibly broke due because CEN not using a servo saver …nice upgrade though 😎🏁
Yup. Agreed, however a beefier assembly is always better :)
Good upgrade, needed on bigger scale
Ya, hated to do it, but it was necessary...

Hey thanks! Maybe some Ice rally?? -20 celcius is too cold for RC for me lol! Merci!

Hey, so I did use my MIP driver, and another hex driver and then the ball hex. the screw was totally stripped. Thanks for the input though.
Can you drop a link to the part ? I need it
I found them on this site
