Senton Finally installed the Bell crank

Finally installed the Bell crank ?. Took me awhile to finish but it's done. I find it pretty funny I have 2 short screws and I don't know where they go. ????

 

[Mongoose]

Let us know how it is.

There are turnbuckles that attach to the bellcrank on each side. They aren't connected in your pictures. Probably what those extra screws are for.

It should look like this:

Yeah they are connected I didn't take a picture of the finish product. They are short flat top screws

Did you use the screws they provided or the original screws?

Used the screws they provided which were 3. 2 for turnbuckles and 1 for the servo arm.

Did you do this upgrade too? If so would you say it’s worth it? I just did the front HR c-hubs and blocks. Still debating what else should be upgraded.

Worth it for sure. Tightens up the steering. Get the aluminum pivot balls if you don't have those.

Then how did you end up with 2 extra screws???

Ok, cool! I was looking at those pivot balls too.

Just ordered both. Hopefully I’m set now, at least for now anyways. Lol ?

Anything else here a must have?

Adjustable motor mount I'd you want to run a larger pinion (other than 20).

??‍ Beats me I looked over the car multiple times. They're flat top screws

Yup got that already. Are the rear wheel hubs needed? I’m tempted at those too since I replaced out the fronts already.

Do you notice a difference with the hubs upgraded

I just installed them the other day so I can’t really say but other people have said that it helped a lot. Suppose to get a lot of the play out. Suppose to of received my 17mm Typhon 3s hexes today along with new tires but it looks like the weather has delayed them by one day. So hopefully tomorrow I’ll have an better idea.

I did them because I did the fronts. I wanted to match.

Stupid question, but will installing this on the 3S BLX help with rocks getting stuck in the stock steering crank? From the pictures, it looks like it mounts higher then the stop somehow? Or is this a picture of the 6S?
I was out this past weekend on some gravel and couldn't drive for longer then 5 minutes without getting a rock jammed in the stock steering. Trying to fish them out constantly sort took all the fun out things.
