    Thank you for showing the brake band and some of the parts associated with it! I have a similar model, the RM828 which has the same brake band and friction disc. Trouble with mine is I need to create a custom chain drive setup to replace the gearbox as the wheels are spinning opposite of what they should be. (Because the motor I used is spinning the opposite of what it should be haha)

    As I suggested at the time, the drag link needed to go through a bell-crank, close to the frame and in a straight line. Not hung out in left field through an arched rod that changes the turning characteristics of the steering response at the left front steering arm. Control is kind of a big deal, as I found out in 20 years of racing sprint cars.

  • @TheShadeTreeFixitMan
    @TheShadeTreeFixitMan13 күн бұрын

    The issue isn't with the drag link. I will show in video that the issue is before the steering even gets to the drag link. I know it's hard to tell just from watching a video. Thanks for your input. I would prefer a straight line, but logistics make it near impossible at this point.

  • @kennethelliott9092
    @kennethelliott909213 күн бұрын

    I've reviewed the video and I see what you are saying about the steering. The driver is having to spin the steering wheel before the pitman arm even tries to move. That means that your steering box needs a quicker gear ratio , especially on such a short wheel based car. Find a box that provides 90 degree turn of the steering wheel to full lock at the front wheels in both directions.
