Team Associated RC18B2 Steering Rack

thingiverse

I once again snapped the steering rack on my RC18B2 buggy, same part always seems to snap in two. I've scoured for alternatives, but there only appears to be an aluminum one that costs 50+ dollars. Needless to say, I didn't want to wait the few weeks shipping to get the replacement rack. My local hobby shop never has any in stock. I machined this one myself to fit. So far, it seems to work well. It will fit an RC18B2, RC18T2, & SC18 apparently. Before installing drive the screws in once to cut the threads, it will make it much easier to install in the car. I printed it in PETG, mostly because that was what was already loaded on the printer. The model isn't a perfect replica of the OEM, but the dimensions are pretty close and it works.
