RC Maker A800X bellcrank steering limiters

New from RC Maker are bellcrank steering limiter plates for the Awesomatix A800X touring car. They adjust the amount of steering lock by creating a hard stopper for the bellcrank arms, unlike just using the servo end point as a limiter. This prevents unwanted wheel vibrations which scrub corner speed, and cause strain on the servo. Consisting of an asymmetrical design, each plate can be flipped allowing 4 different steering lock angles all the way from 23 to 33 degrees. They are durable and have minimal impact on the cars flex, whilst keeping the steering posts aligned under cornering forces.
