Factory Works/A&L streering
Curious if anyone has any experience with the FW/A&L steering for the JRX cars. Does it take care of most of the play in the stock bellcranks? Is it a worthwhile upgrade? Thanks!

The Factory Works owner is very active here. I'm sure he'll be along soon enough to answer any questions.

I’m here to answer questions but I’m a little too biased to offer opinion

Re: Factory Works/A&L streering
Well, all I can say is if you are not pleased with the current setup on your JRX, the A&L setup is real legit. One of the "go to" solutions for any truck or buggy for which it is available for fitment. I ran one on my TRX-1 bitd (now on a shelf queen in original day-glow yellow) and more recently on a TRX-1 run on carpet and astroturf. The stock TRX-1 steering is not bad, but it's just plastic bellcranks on aluminum posts whereas the A&L has the four (4) ball bearings. Precise, solid, and slop-free. Just follow the install and bump-steer suggestions, etc. Pay close attention to any necessary shimming and tightness of fasteners. Sometimes a 1/20th of a screw turn can be the difference between slop-free smoothness and binding/drag. Once it is dialed in, it just needs periodic inspection and/or adjustment like any other component or system.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Thanks for the info TRX-1! I too ran A&L parts way back when (trailing arms, steering, slipper, etc), great stuff!

Re: Factory Works/A&L streering
Good to know! lol I ran the A&L steering on my RC10 BITD and it was great so I might be picking up a kit for my JRX2 project. Glad to see you guys are still around!
