Rlaarlo Omni-Terminator Upgrades——Steering System

Welcome to the Rlaarlo Engineering Workshop!

Upgrading your RC car can be daunting, but don't fret! With some know-how, anyone can unleash its full potential.

Let Rlaarlo open the doors to the world of remote-controlled car modifications for you!

Today, we're going to show you how to replace the steering system on your Rlaarlo Omni Terminator.

Tools and Parts Needed:

 

Aluminum Upper Steering Saver Fixed Part For RZ001

 

Step 1: Removing the Old Steering Assembly

  • First, use a 1.5 hex driver to remove the screws from the steering rods on each side and carefully pull the rods from the steering assembly. Then, use a 2.0 hex driver to remove the fixing bracket of the steering assembly. 

Step 2: Disassembling the Ackerman Plate

  • Next, use a 1.5 hex driver to remove the screws from the Ackerman plate. Pay careful attention not to lose the flanged bushings on the Ackerman plate. After unscrewing, remove the Ackerman plate from the assembly.

Step 3: Removing the Steering Column

  • Using the 1.5 hex driver, proceed to remove the screws holding the steering column to the chassis plate, allowing you to completely remove the steering assembly. Also, remove the ball head screw used for fixing the steering rod to the steering assembly and the fixing screw from the top of the steering column. Use needle-nose pliers or an M3 nut driver to hold the pin nut steady while pulling out the pin. Repeat this process on the other side.

Step 4: Preparing the Metal Upgrade Parts

  • Prepare all the metal upgrade parts of the steering assembly. Assemble the parts of the steering towers in the correct order and ensure that all screws are tightened securely. Take special note of the installation direction when assembling the servo saver and insert the spring, tightening the threaded ring.

Step 5: Installing the New Steering Assembly

  • Place the assembled steering assembly back into the chassis and fix it into the original locations, tightening all screws securely. When installing the upper and lower screws on the steering columns, use a 1.5 hex driver to hold the other end steady.

Step 6: Final Adjustments

  • Align the holes of the steering rod end and tighten the screws securely. Place the flanged bushings and screws into the Ackerman plate and replace it onto the steering assembly, ensuring that the direction of the plate is correct when installing. Finally, test the steering movement to ensure there are no issues.

Step 7: Reinstallation and Testing

  • Reinstall the steering rod end to the ball head screw, ensuring that everything is securely fastened and operates smoothly.
