My fix to the sloppy steering

[RC-Fan]

The sloppy steering was driving crazy. I found the weak link beign the top bushing, and this is how I fixed it. I replaced the bushing with a nut, a little bit of dremel, and drilling required to make it fit, man couldn't be happier it feels pretty solid now, no more slop.

How about a bearing?

I thought about it, but the thing is there is too much room between both parts, that you will have to ad a bunch of shims anyway.

Cool! I'll take a look at mine later.

Same! The slop in my steering is bad.

A little more information please. Dremel and drill where?

Dremel, and drill the nut, to make it round as the same size of the plastic bushing. Drill the center hole to fit the bellcrank post until it is smooth and put a bit of grease on it, don´t drill it according to the bushing (the hole is too large).

Are you using a jato wheel locking nut?
