i was at my local skatepark bashing, and i managed to hit the edge of the quater turning round. this popped my dogbone out, which, me not having all the knowledge of putting it back in, had to bend it to put it back in. i did bend it back, but my steering is not good at all. the steering circle has gone from 2 foot to about 5 foot. i dont know if it is the servo, because i had replaced the rubbish stock one to a futaba s3003. any guesses? i will get some pis up soon.

Got any picture's of it ? pictures say a thousand words

i will try and get some up soon. tonight probably.

You bent the dogbone by hand [X(]

My guess is that since it is bent, it is now not spinning true and is binding in the diff outdrive or the steering knuckle drive cup.
Pics would help alot.

You could try turning the front wheels by hand with the steering turned either way and see if it binds.

I have no clue if it is even possible but if you hit it hard enough you could have jolted the servo hard enough to throw it off it's center (if anyone knows what I am trying to say[sm=bananahead.gif]) Did it turn wider in one direction more so than the other?

hopefully i can get them in an hour lol i need to fine the camera lead.

There we are.

i have the same problem with u willash.. not sure how to get it fix but mac has just post a great pic on how to fix it,its a simple tri
in not sure how this will help but ill give it a try

And that is the dogbone bent back ?

Thanks, but i am wondering if this is why my steering is not working aswel as it was. the servo or the bent dogbone?.
and to macanan:
attempted lol
best way to bend back?

No, its your dogbone, it needs to be straighter then that.

Yes indeed, you need a new dogbone

How much and where from?
i might just try and bend it a bit more, i just didnt want to hang around on top of the quarter
pipe with parts all over lol.

How to remove the dogbone, your wheel will then swing out.

Erm...

That is really in some bad shape to even try and bend back, it would have worked if there wasn't already 2 other bends in the middle of it, you really need to order a new set, when you buy them they come in a pair of 2.

What is the part Number? and the length? i have the spare parts catalogue infront of me, but the dogbone is that bent i cant measure it.

Im looking now give me a min, your is the 1/10 scale right ?

yeahh 1/10 tornado BB.

Im downloading the redcats manual for the tonado bb and they have 4 different manuals for it and there large files so bare with me

lol im just wondering if ehroof has the length of the front dogbone on the tornado bb ??

No its not that part number 02003 like there manual says because that is a 55mm I dont think they even know

The 02003 55mm dogbones is what goes from the tranny to the rear diff box, and in the redcats manual says its for the tires as well

Cant be that one.
mine measures 80+mm.

Get this they have 4 different sizes 84mm #06061 qty 2 (IF out of stock order 06022), Dogbones 87mm qty 2 #06022, Dogbone 61mm qty 2 #02003, Transmission shaft 76mm Qty 2 #06006
