The 311002 set is engineered for competitive racing where "slop" is the enemy of lap times. Plastic steering components naturally flex under the high-torque loads of modern digital servos and high-grip carpet tracks. By upgrading to 6061-T6 aluminum, you ensure that every millimeter of servo movement is translated directly to the wheels with zero deflection.
Detailed Technical Specifications
1. CNC-Machined 6061-T6 Aluminum
-
Zero-Flex Precision: Unlike composite plastic that can "bow" during high-speed cornering, these aluminum bellcranks remain perfectly rigid. This provides a more direct, "connected" feel between the driver and the car.
-
Increased Durability: Aluminum is significantly more resilient than plastic in high-impact situations. This kit is designed to survive the jarring "clipping" of track pipes that would snap standard plastic components.
2. Enhanced Steering Geometry
-
Reduced Mechanical Slop: The tolerances on the pivot points and drag link interfaces are much tighter than molded parts. This eliminates the "jitter" and "play" often found in the front end of 1/18 scale vehicles.
-
Bearing Compatible: Designed to work perfectly with high-speed ball bearings (sold separately) to provide the smoothest, most friction-free steering movement possible.
3. Professional "Factory Team" Finish
-
Sleek Anodized Black: The hard-anodized coating provides a professional look that complements any racing chassis while protecting the metal from scratches and corrosion.
-
Lightweight Performance: While vastly stronger than plastic, the aluminum parts are aggressively machined to remove excess material, keeping the front-end weight to a minimum.
