Installed the steering last night. Mostly done except now I have to remove the steering cross bar and cut/grind away the outer ball stud mounts that are hitting the springs on my GB-02.

I tried doing the Jimmy mod and space out the shocks further but I already added 2mm worth of spacers and they were still being hit by the steering. I didn't want to add any more spacers otherwise I would be left with only 2mm left of screw threads on the ball studs.

Anyway, posted up the install pics on my site http://www.bigbigplanet.com/rccars/gb02

Here are the pics...
The 2/56" countersunk screw worked.

The pin needed sanding down slightly.


Wires neatly tucked under the servo mounting top plate.


The Ackermann actually got worse with the 3Racing bellcrank. Next stage would be to mod the bellcrank to run longer steering links.
