brass knuckles on stock scx24 bronco issue

[kennydoggins]

Hey, just a public service announcement. I got a Bronco, it's pretty rad. I swapped in some new SSD wheels and hyrax's, took a bunch of the overlanding crap off the body, and went to install some Yeah Racing brass knucks. That's where the lesson was learned about thread pitch and micro screws. Apparently for the Bronco they switched the thread pitch for the steering rack from fine to coarse (or vice versa, not checking right this second). Either way, the stock plastic steering linkage is not compatible with aftermarket knuckles because of this thread pitch decision axial made. Just beware, most folks will probably do an aftermarket steering linkage with the brass knucks and weights, and never encounter this issue. But I was going to wait and just run the stock links for now. Anyway, the little screws just fall apart and stay stuck in the knuckles. $18 bummer, but I'll check with the LHS and see if there's a way to chase the broken screws out, or at least have them holler at YR to make sure people are aware. That's it, hope it helps someone.
