hello everyone!
i just bought my micro t 3 days ago and within the first 3 runs i broke the stearing links. went to my LHS they didnt have the parts so i was looking around and found small thin peices of plastic about 1 to .5 mm thicker all around. i went home and made a dozen sets of these. (it was white plastic material)
well then i didnt like how soft and unstable the rear was when turning hard on carpet.
so i fabed up a rear sway bar!
the same material i used fot the straeing links i used for the RSB.
to build this:
you need that thin plastic peice i used for the stearing links.
sodering iron.
razor blade.
ruler in MM.
small drill bit.
pencil/pen
and TIME.
this took me about an hour to get it right, (3 tries)
getting started:
mark a point on the plastic strip this will be your "center", measure from that point 8-9 mm left and right from the center.
you should have a section marked about 16-18 mm wide.
next measure 25mm off each mark you just made(left and right),
so you should have a peice of plastic strip about 66 to 68 mm long.
now the hard part: heat up the souldering iron
I xI center Ix I
^ this is the strip the center should be left flat
using the iron hold the strip over the tip where X in marked just DO NOT TUCH IT!
as you are holding it there twist the strip.
(the goal is to have a strip of plastic with 2 90 degree twists in it)
repeate for the other side
center
looking down(top): _hole_______x::::::x_______hole_
now hold the flat part to the bottom of the car and mark your holes
NOTE mark both, drill one screw it down then check to see if the mark still lines up, drill second the hole.
attach to the rear of the car and enjoy!
i just joined thie site so when i figure out how to post pictures i will do so
GOOD LUCK!
