...This LOOKS good but i think it might be too heavy...what IS interesting is the extra Ackerman hole...Remember that mounting your ackerman FORWARD will create a steeper angle and; 1: smooth out your steering, 2: help your car react more smoothly, 3: suit your more to smooth tracks...Using the REARWARD holes will give you a SHALLOWER angle and thus 1: quicken your intial steering response, 2: let your car react faster to steering input and 3: better suit your car to rough tracks..

...i prefer the ATOMIC part...

...but with THIS part I am worried about the thinness of the carbon around the bearings...

...then you have the GPM option which looks heavy and STILL doesnt have bearings...Looks like they put delrin rings in it though...but it wont be long until they do a second edition of this WITH bearings...

Hi BitHed :)

I'd go for the 3Racing one without question! I've gotten to love there quality & fit.
I feel I can buy a 3Racing product, and it will fit perfect, and will do exactly what it's supposed to do. 3Racing RULES in my book :)

I, my self will probably opt for the Atomic unit since it's CF and the front end of the car does need a diet.

I'll probably pick one up while I'm down at the track.

:D

May be it's heavier than atomic one, but 3racing steering system is very smooth, and for me this is a must.

With the atomic, you must stay with original crappy steering from kyosho.

I am going with the 3Racing parts. It looks like a minature version of the Kanai 3 mixed with the 777. Arm is on the inside but the spring is on the top. :rolleyes:

F.Y.I - These bearings are horizontal and if you run it in the dirt a lot they should be cleaned and oiled (very lightly) often and any time they get wet. This is the case with my MP777. all the other bearings are vertical so the chance for dirt/water to sit on the seals for any amount of time is nearly nonexistant.
:cool:
