Kraton K6s steering upgrade

[hungrybird]

I added an aluminum bell crank and am amazed at how much bette the steering is . Is this more likely to break a servo now that it’s stiffer ? It does still do the wheel turn thing but nowhere near as much . I know a lot of people add clips under the spring and have miraculous outcomes too . It s so much better handling this way . It’s like night and day . I just wanted to share my happiness today . Tomorrow I might be fixing it again .

Cool man! Yep- that's a great upgrade for the 6s bashers. Mine have the aluminum bellcranks, I've had no other issues since. As long as the saver spring isn't way too tight-you're good.

If you can crank the wheels from side to side with the truck on with your hands you're good.

I think the new EXB V2 bellcrank is the gold standard. It's really stiff with a flat spring curve so it doesn't ramp up hard as it activates.

This is the EXB V2? Which comes with a much stiffer servo saver than the old models. I am surprised you needed more

Glad you got it to where you want it thought

I have a question, is your truck an EXB V1 or V2? Except for the gearboxes it looks like a nicely equipped V1 roller.

Good eye! I see the subtle differences now.

I tried everything bellcrank in my Mojave and the V2 EXB is where it's at for steering.

I put aluminum steering bell cranks on all my 6s Arrmas. The way I see it if the thing won’t turn the servo might as well be out. I’ve never regretted making that change. It’s amazing how many crashes you can avoid with precision steering. The Vitavon steering links and hubs take a lot of play out too.

It’s a v5 BLX I got 6 months ago from Jim Lewis
