GPM Racing 7075 LMB048-B Aluminium Steering Rack Losi Micro-B

This is exactly what I was looking for! I am trying to remove the play in the wheels and it is looking to cost more than the rc itself to address such a small issue as you mentioned in the video. The blue does look nice on the car. When do you plan on doing a video of the car running? I'm curious how it performs after the upgrades with all the extra added weight.

Depends how long it takes me to finish it I also want another stock one to compare it to and the track I will be running it in isn't finished yet but shouldn't be too long

Does this upgrade fix the car’s tendency to “wander”? For example, my stock car cannot be trimmed. If I manage to get it to go straight with trim and then give it a slight amount of turn, letting the steering return to center on the transmitter, the car will continue making a left turn like its “stuck” in the left turn. The same thing happens going right. I don’t see anything binding, and the front doesn’t seem loose. My electronics have been replaced with a mini28/6500kv kit so I can use a Flysky NB4+ (just FYI, not that it really matters because this doesn’t seem to be a trim or subtrim -related issue). Love your content. Keep it coming!

It's not something that I have noticed in mine but it is something a few people have had issues with but I'd check the servo saver is tight as that would give this issue

[@ninjrar]

@@WTFRCCars Are you able to just power on the vehicle and test for the "wander" issue mentioned above? It's there for certain with the stock vehicle because I have experienced it as well. I can't find anywhere online that answers how to remove that steering issue.

[@WTFRCCars]

I will be at the min it's got no receiver in it

I'd test it with plastic caster blocks first, before going full aluminum spindle and casters.

[@WTFRCCars]

The alloy caster blocks and spindles are definitely required if your racing from guys who are racing them now

[@one4all885]

​@@WTFRCCars Each brand makes them in different materials. Some are 6061 aluminum and the others are 7075. The stock chassis is 6061. At this size 6061 is good enough. The little extra weight from 7075 might not be as good. Depends on track size. I'd have gone with aluminum hinge pin braces first before using aluminum casters, for testing. There's even an optional 7075 chassis by gpm. I doubt I'll be getting that though. But all the 1/10 race kits do use aluminum hinge braces, but barely if ever use aluminum casters. Maybe using the aluminum casters adds weight to make the buggy more predictable, but giving up a bit of agility. Lighter is usually more nimble. That's why I bought lighter aluminum. Bought some parts, but I still don't have the buggy. 😂

@one4all885 yeh can't believe how few they made in the 1st batch

[@one4all885]

@@WTFRCCars yup, or they did make a lot but sold fast. Some bought multiple micro b's.

[@SkonkBot]

Be interesting to hear the total cost once everything is upgraded :)

[@WTFRCCars]

Yeh I will do a total when it's done 👍
