made an steering rack in a Tamiya Wild one

[dannymulder 1126]

I wanted to put a better servo saver and thicker steering rods in my new wild one build, but after trying a lot of different servo savers  tamiya high torqeu, 3 racing and kimbrough and different rods I gave up none of them work, then I got the Idea maybe an steering rack wil work, so I took the steering rack out of my Tamiya m-05.
 

The steering rack fits like a glove, bolted straight on the mounting points of the servo, then I made some alloy servo mounts and moved the servo to another place in the chassis, it works like a charm everything clears, no binding and no more bump steer.

That's a super neat idea @dannymulder - great work! 👍

It's funny how some things just fit perfectly - when i did my FAV Evo I based the steering on the M-06 and like you was amazed that it would fit the holes perfectly! I flipped the servo on its side so it would fit under the dashboard, and again, the holes lined up perfectly!

Those m-05/ m-06 steeriing racks works perfectly in the wild one, I never saw it done before for, so I tought I share it here on the forum, so other members can use this idea if the want to change the steering on a wild one

I used a lowprofile servo I had one in my stash it fits perfect under the dashboard.
