I responded with an order for two sets of the steering assemblies. I hope they are what we wanted!
Here are the front knuckles. I am working with GPM to get some pics of the steering assembly. They haven't been produced yet. I did advise them that we are wanting bearings on the steering shaft and sent them some pics for an example.
well looking at that pic, it looks like the knuckles are going to be stock alloy...hopefully they improve that...I'm really hoping that the steering that they produce isn't just alloy bits that really don't solve the poor design thanks to Tamiya.
Right here.
I have these. They are not a direct drop in replacement. They are steel. They are longer than the stock setup. You will have to get these knuckles for them to work.
have they sent any pics of the steer kit?
I received an email back from GPM with the details of the pre-order and a picture of the steering parts. I will post the pic as soon as I get to a computer. I can't post it from my blackberry.
It looks like it is exactly what we are asking for.
they are asking for half the cost up front as a deposit and the remaining half when they ship out. And as stated before, they are offering 15 percent off for those of us who contacted them about producing these pieces.
I was told that they should start shipping in november.
Again I will post the pic as soon as I can.
here is the picture.
She said that the production units will have bearings even though the pic shows bushings.
Well,if the American suppliers refuse to produce parts, even though demand has been high.. good for them!
