Ordered flishrc cobra. Communication was great. Ordered larger batteries but they were the wrong size. Olly shipped the right batteries and gave a refund for the difference I paid. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the help with the order.

The seller knew I was after one and very kindly informed me when they came back into stock so now have a Flywing Bell 206. Fantastic bit of kit. Well worth the wait.

About this product
Precision alloy steering housing for Kyosho models
The KM048 steering housing is a single-piece machined aluminium replacement for Kyosho motor cycle models, supplied with the mounting screws while the 8×12 ball bearing is excluded from the kit.
Engineered for improved structural stiffness, the component replaces plastic housings to enhance the mechanical interface between steering linkages and the front assembly without requiring changes to servos, ESCs, or motor units.
Assembly procedure: the part fits assemblies designed for an 8×12 ball bearing (not supplied). Remove the OEM housing using standard tools, inspect and prepare the bearing seat for correct alignment, then torque the supplied screws to specification. Verify steering endplay and trim linkage lengths as needed to maintain neutral alignment.
Performance notes: this machined aluminium housing reduces front-end compliance to deliver crisper steering feedback during tuning of toe, caster and steering damping. It is intended as a chassis-level upgrade to work in concert with suspension and linkage adjustments for competitive handling gains.
What tolerance should the bearing seat have?
Ensure the bearing seat is concentric and free of burrs; a snug press fit for an 8×12 ball bearing is recommended to avoid axial play and maintain alignment.
Recommended assembly torque and hardware care?
Use the correct hex driver and torque lightly to secure the supplied screws without crushing threads; inspect threads and apply thread locker sparingly if repeated loosening occurs.
How does this affect tuning strategy?
By reducing steering interface flex, the housing makes suspension and linkage adjustments more repeatable; expect more immediate steering response and adjust dampers and toe accordingly for desired balance. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review.
