Wide angle steering for Tamiya M-05

Check out beefed up Version 2

Ever since I made my FF-05 conversion, I've been thinking about increasing steering angle, since I intend to use it in RC rally, which requires tight turning radius. One discussion prompted me to take a closer look.. and I found out, that the modification is actually fairly simple.

The model consists of steering arms, that were extended by 5mm and lifted by 2mm (to clear the chassis), while keeping original geometry that works with the stock steering bridge. Bearing hole uses sacrifial bridge for better surface. It might be necessary to clean hole for the step screw with a 3,5mm drill, or fine-tune printing settings, for free movement. Print with supports.

The only other modification is swapping left and right C-hub (moves steering limiter to the other side) and shimming the outer pivot ball with 2mm spacer (using a pivot ball with longer thread is recommended). The modification puts maximum steering angle beyond capabilities of stock dogbones - CVDs or DCJs are necessary.
