Mirage Support of HPI Issue

March 6, 2009 · Posted in Maintenance · by simon

Wen I recently lost part of the steering on my HPI E-Savage, I contact the importers and distributors, Mirage to see if they could help.

82024 bushing shown sticking up, half undone

The part I lost was the steering bush (Part No, 82024) and the corresponding screw (Z528). They should be firmly attached to the steering ‘rack’, and they just vanished! I guess they should have been threadlocked from factory, the one on the other side was, but it didn’t seem very firm when I checked it.

So I asked them to send replacements, and they did, Free of Charge. They took a little while to arrive, but only because they didn’t have them in stock at that time.

Thanks guys!

Replacing them was fiddly, I managed to do it without removing the whole steering from the car, and I ensured I used threadlock on them. Fingers crossed I wont lose any more.
