Front steering assembly:

There are several upgrades to the HK Bat 1 available. HK listened to most of my design ideas, but the final execution included some inferior materials.
The front wheel fork is one of these items. As most of you already experienced its molded of cheap plastic and breaks easily on impact.
Besides that the pivot bolt threads are poorly tapped causing the bolt to loosen up.
Furthermore... It came to my attention that the two screws holding the aluminum plate in place are stripping occasionally.
Drill a .172"/4.5mm hole through the hull and secure the plate with the provided bolt and nut.
Note:  the original HK front wheel does not fit the new fork A new slightly larger wheel is included.

 Purchase the steering assembly ($25.00, guaranteed for life!)
