The original "front-set_steering-arm" of the Explorer MK1 has several disadvantages:

  1. Large tolerances causing steering wobble / or in some cases too much frichtion
  2. Excessively long steering arm for the servo, resulting in collision during steering

While there's an existing remix that improves the standard arm, I wanted to avoid reprinting numerous parts. Therefore, I decided to design a solution that better suits my preferences. I discovered that this small part is more than strong enough for the task.

Benefits of This Modification

If you're looking for:

  • Better tolerance in the steering arm
  • Reduced friction in the steering mechanism
  • No collision between the steering arm and its support

Then I highly recommend printing these parts.

Printing Guide

  • Material: PETG
  • Settings:
    • 4 perimeters
    • Random seam (also known as random start points)

Required Parts

  • 2x  10x15x4 bearings (the same bearings required for the wheel axis)
  • 1x  M4x30 and M4 nut (Same as for standard steering arm)
