Tamiya CC-01 rack steering [V1]

Pinion is updated to prevent slipping on the servo. It differs from the pictures provided. I apologize for any confusion. This upgrade is designed to enhance the stock Tamiya CC-01 with a few modifications that use existing hardware, except for a spacer placed at the knuckle to elevate the ball joint (see attached image). Instructions: Remove the stock steering and servo components. Swap the left and right knuckles, then remove the screw from the lower arms. Replace the left and right shock absorbers with their respective mounting pieces, attaching them to the lower arms using a mounting screw for the shock in the hole where the two parts of each arm were previously connected (see attached image). Cut holes in the side of the chassis; they don't have to be as large as those shown in the pictures (I was testing different designs :)). Remove the front screw from the gearbox cover and install a servo bracket using one longer black screw that comes with the CC-01 kit. It uses the same hole as the gearbox cover. Attach the slide to the unused screw hole located in front of the gearbox. Mount the servo into its bracket using two spare screws from the kit. Attach the body posts to the top brace and secure them in place. Screw the servo to the top brace. Note: If you are using stock ball joints, print a modified steering link with an M3 version. Screw one ball joint into the steering link, then attach it to one side of the rack. Position the rack through the holes in the chassis and screw on the second steering link with its attached ball joint. Cut a round servo horn to match the shape of the pinion and press-fit it into place. Align the rack in the middle of the slide and attach the pinion to the servo. Secure both steering linkages to their respective ball joints. Enjoy your upgrade.
