1/10 Scale Toyota Tacoma (Element Knightrunner) | Ep 4 - BowHouse RC IFS Metal Steering Upgrades

A bit of modification is needed if you use both the BowHouse RC Steering assembly AND Knight Customs IFS Lift kit. I will cover the mod as well provide details on upgrades as I continue to focus on improving the performance of IFS system by swapping out several plastic IFS parts to CNC-machined aluminum upgrade parts from BowHouse RC. So enjoy!

Looking forward to seeing the fruit of this labor, and how it improves handling in the real-world!

[@BigSungHobbies]

Just got done with first test run. It went well for first run considering that I am using the stock & tiny tires.

[@smallscalemotoring]

Great info! 👏

[@BigSungHobbies]

Thank you very much!

[@jgreif07]

curious where you found a 30mm ball joint to add the spacers to? my factory ones are to short and not sure where to get longer ones

[@BigSungHobbies]

I usually pick them up from Team KNK Hardware teamknkhardware.com/

[@jacquesstrydom1896]

Hi Sir do you have all part numbers so I can buy them to do my upgrade. Thanks.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Unfortunately I do not, but you can go to Bowhouse RC website here: bowhouserc.com/element-enduro-collection/ I have used the following parts: N2R Aluminum Steering Bell Cranks for Element Enduro IFS, N2R Steering Rack for Element Enduro IFS v2, Aluminum Servo Mounting Plate for Element IFS.

[@tiborbeetles1882]

I am planning to do this exact same upgrade. Just ordered the 30mm m3 screws and two 6mm spacers. Do you still recommend this method to get the Bowhouse and Knight customs parts to work together? Is there anything else I will need?

[@BigSungHobbies]

You will need qty. 4 of 6mm spacers, 2 on each side. If you plan to use both Bowhouse and Knight Customs parts, then this will be the best option. I am happy with the performance.

[@tiborbeetles1882]

@@BigSungHobbies Yeah I meant 4 spacers. Thanks!

[@BigSungHobbies]

Hehe, awesome...just wanted to check.

[@jessramelb6857]

Anyone having trouble getting one side of the link out?

[@BigSungHobbies]

It helps to have shock plier to hold and use hex wrench to turn it.

[@jessramelb6857]

@@BigSungHobbies thank you sadly my area does not have any hobby rc shops or shockpliers. Any other types of pliers you think would work?

[@BigSungHobbies]

@@jessramelb6857 You can use regular pliers, but make sure to cover the rod end with cloth so you don’t mar it.
