This MI-05/LB aluminium steering rack is engineered as a direct replacement for the standard plastic unit on Team Losi MICRO-T chassis, delivering a stiffer connection between servo output and steering knuckles. The design focuses on eliminating compliance in the steering path to stabilise toe and steering geometry under dynamic loads.
Constructed to improve steering repeatability, the aluminium rack reduces deformation during corner entry and low-speed corrections. That stability aids accurate endpoint trimming and makes fine adjustments to servo throw more effective for consistent lap-to-lap performance.
Installation notes for tuners: verify steering arm offset and tie-rod lengths to maintain neutral toe. Confirm servo spline engagement and horn compatibility, and check full suspension travel clearance. Use appropriate fasteners and, where necessary, minor shimming to prevent binding and to retain correct Ackermann characteristics.
Recommended setup practice: integrate the MI-05/LB into a precision steering package with careful servo centring and calibrated toe settings. The reduced compliance benefits progressive steering geometries and helps control mid-corner balance on micro-scale electric buggies.
