H2riku front suspension mod v.1 and v.2

Lately, impressed by the Japanese drifters, i decided to make a H2riku conversion. It actually makes a lot sense, as it is an easy and effective way to set up the high-caster KPI steering.


In my v.1 mod, i used DIB shafts, which are longer, so benefits of minnimum scrub radius were totally gone. Also, upper rod ends limit suspension movement a lot.

For upper arms I chose yokomo steering arm with servo mounts. Not the best choise for me, as the steering arm has ridiculous ammount of play. I want everything to be stiff.


For v.2 mod i changed the shafts to DP ones, and immediatly got 3mm off my scrub radius - how cool is that? 
Also, new DP upper arms with TN pins. Not very stiff, but no play.


Next, TS extensions for the steering to get rid of the ackerman. Worked perfectly.



That is it for now. Next, i have to make a mono-shock mod, and modify the lower deck to move suspension arms a bit to the back.
