Power Steering (Electric)

[Kinarfi]

don't have any Idea yet. I assume you want one like mine, that is stock steering rack and pinion. Want to trade for installed shocks?

OH yea FYI, My set up died due to stripped gears, so I have to change the gear and I'll report on that when I get it done, pretty soon, but for a long time, it did not have an end of travel current limit set up. I'm sure that contributed to the stripped gear, I going to look for some metal gears, but haven't seen any yet. If you have a power wheels ride on toy for your kids, steal the motor and gear box off it.

Some times I just love to be wrong, like this time, the master link on the final chain drive came off. Every thing else is fine, but I have some better plastic mount pieces to go around the steering column, so I'm doing a few things over.

If you think you may want a kit, read this, it's directions for attaching the strain gauge to the steering shaft, which is the heart of this thing, the rest is the brains and the muscle. I can & will make a few suggestions if & when this gets turned into a kit.

Lenny, want to collaborate on an electric power steering? I looked at the splines on the input shaft to the Socket and if a gear was cut to fit those splines with an outer diameter of about 4.5" driven by a .6" X 4.5" gear driven by a .6" sprocket on a 1.31 in-lb 3456 rpm motor. If we create a gear reduction of 57 to 1, we get 1 rev/sec at 6.288 ft-lbs. This assembly could be mounted to the cover cap or even replace the cap or mount it by replacing the input shaft bearing cover with a larger piece of steel that has holes that line up with the socket mounting holes.

Most of the people here are doing it for a few hundred dollars instead of a thousand. There are at least three that I know of that have built power steering for the trooper and i would be surprised if anyone spent more then five hundred. I would like power steering but I will build one before I spend a grand for one. I realise that is what the manufacturers are charging but a lot of people cant afford or are just not willing to spend that much after spending $12,000 on the ride.

Hi 4x4x454

Thear is always an upside& down side.When you buy a product that has been tested over the years you get a system that works right out of the box.if you guys can make your own powersteering that works right out of the box.That is vary good.We could have

made a system of our own but we left it to the experts.I know one of your club members has a complete hydraulic system and loves

it.He said he payed much more i know the system it cost about $1500.00.Also we sell T2 for 11,000.It was only and option.Also some members can't make thear own.

Don't give up on me yet folks, I had another idea that I think will be very impressive, Got my shocks are done so now I can look into my newest idea, already bounced it off Lenny, Now I just need to do some prototyping. It will definitely be under $700 and maybe way under, Just cutting myself some slack.
