Coupled with adjustable turnbuckles, you can finely tune the toe angle and steering throw, easily dialing in the sweet spot for handling.
Waved Contact Servo Saver
The DSK's steering buffer system utilizes a waved contact surface design, ensuring the upper and lower sections of the servo saver maintain constant surface-to-surface contact. During severe impacts, the waved surfaces evenly distribute and cushion the force, preventing instantaneous torque spikes from transferring directly to the servo gears, delivering ultra-precise steering while maximizing servo protection.
Dual Steering
System
Pivot Ball Suspension (PBS) Steering: The suspension arms connect to the steering knuckles via pivot balls, delivering exceptionally linear steering. Ideal for high-speed track scenarios.
C-Hub Steering Block: The steering knuckles connect to the upper and lower arms via C-hubs, offering robust structural rigidity and excellent impact resistance. Ideal for rugged terrain bashing.
The entire conversion process only requires removing the front suspension assembly, popping off the pivot ball turnbuckles, and swapping in the C-hub module—a complete replacement without any drilling.
