DGI steering Links touching The 7075RC Diff Gear Housing

[Silent_chaos]

I'm having a bit of tiny problem; thing is when I try to steer the left/right, the corner of the DGI steering Links(due to their abnormal size) is hitting the 7075RC differential gear housing.


I tried to decrease the EPA, and play with the length of the Links, I even shortened the servo link but no cigar.


any advice on how I can solve this? maybe thinner steering links?

They do have huge joints on them. You could try to shave down the ends down, but it might not be enough.

I can save off couple of mms, its al I need. however, Rampage Idiot was running thinner AL links. (I guess you as well), can you link me their address?

I have the IRP links. I believe Rampage Idiot built his own.

I don't have the 7075RC diff cases yet. Hopefully there won't be clearance issues.

Nice. Can you tell me how many mm is the diameter of the circle?

I need to compare it with mine

I'm assuming you mean the outside diameter of the of the ball end. The IRP unit is about 15.5mm the DGI end is about 20mm.

I see, that'll give me around 2mm radius.

I will have to shave it up i guess. any recommended methods?

mine measure 15.7mm, at this point I would just grind off the front side till you gain clearance

Belt sander or grinding wheel

Either will work.
