JConcepts B44.2 aluminium steering bellcrank set

JConcepts B44.2 aluminium steering bellcrank

New from JConcepts comes the aluminium steering bellcrank assembly for the Team Associated B44.2 buggy. In the stock trim, the B44 steering swings an all moulded, plastic bellcrank system as well as a plastic steering rack supported by bushings. The JConcepts design includes an aluminium driving and driven bellcrank and incorporates a flat panel 2.5mm material as the steering rack with three locations for Ackermann adjustment. The new rack includes bearings for the system to glide on while long stainless steel ball studs provide the connection between the system and steering tie-rod. The servo-saver less aluminium bellcranks, that are available in blue or black colour, allow for a more precise steering feel with increased steering through less defection while the carbon fibre rack pivots freely on the bearing supported system allowing the driver to feel less drag and quicker response.
