Wheel to Chassis Brace

[jackobyte]

Seen this idea off the site somewhere, not sure who done it but it looked like a good idea.
So hence forth i decided to try it out.
Here are the results so far.



Its made up of some 6mm threaded rod and 2 x 6mm steering ball joints with a plastic sleeve over just to tidy it up a bit.

Still need to do the other side (voo is graciously going to donate a couple more ball joints so i can do the other side), then it needs testing to see if it interfers with the rear shock set-up.

The reason for the mod is the back wheels were pulling in alot on acceleration and my drive shaft sometimes hit my gearing. Hopefully this will stop the back wheels from turning in.

that looks like a trailing arm setup. but hey nice job it looks good

 

[pipeous]

sure seems to be a solid mod. I have a couple steering rods sitting here to try that out

 

[slawhammer]

At worst you will hit some thing..Break the plastic rose or eye...
but from the looks of things ..should work out ok...Slawhammer

 

[charlieboy]

hey matey how did you get on? have you been out and tested them yet?

 

[jackobyte]

Haven't had time yet to test um out Charlie, hoping either this afternoon or sometime tomorrow if the rain stays away.:boat:

Both sides now have a brace fitted.
