Coming from SWorkz and made for the S12-1 2WD buggy are two new aluminium option parts. First up is an aluminium Ackermann plate made from high-quality aluminium to make for improved overall strength and steering precision. The black anodised part comes including a set of ball bearings, shims and mounting hardware. Also new and designed to work together with the above Ackermann plate are aluminium steering bellcranks. Like the steering plate the bellcranks come machined from aluminium and they sport a black surface finish for wear and looks. More sturdy than the standard composite parts the alloy bellcranks will improve steering response especially on high-bite surfaces.
