The NEW release of the Stiletto "Fast Ratio" Small box Rack and Pinion Steering is Next Level This is the latest version of the Stiletto “Fast Ratio“ Small Box Rack and Pinion. Utilizing FEA engineering, this NEW Magnum Housing design is 35% stronger, without any weight penalty over the previous model. The increased rigidity and torsional stiffness of the CNC machined Billet 2024-T4 Aluminum housing provides a stronger foundation for sustained gear alignment in abusive applications. Precision fitted with a heat-treated alloy rack and pinion that has also proven to enhance longevity, and provide the Swiss Watch movement that is a Stiletto standard. With the ultra-fast 6.4:1 ratio, the steering action of this rack-n-pinion makes it a perfect fit for 600 Micro sprints, small oval track or mini-baja applications. Popular Uses Micro / Mini Sprints Off-Road Formula FSAE / Mini Baja SAE Solar / High Mileage Snowmobiles Mini-Modified Pulling Tractors Stiletto Steering Systems – Second to None Stiletto Steering was introduced in 1973, specifically as a drag car steering rack. The Stiletto Small Box dragster style rack & pinion is compact, lightweight and smooth; the choice of Champions – the benchmark for driving control. With the unparalleled performance and durability, what started life as the drag race steering box of choice for world's-fastest NHRA rear engine dragsters, has also grown to be the standard race car rack and pinion for many other types of motorsports competitions. With the quality of materials and workmanship built into a Stiletto Steering assembly it takes a lot of races to wear one of these out. So if you ever need to replace yours, we'll be impressed! You can trust Stiletto Steering's experience and commitment to excellence to deliver you to the winner's circle. Outperforms your Expectations Stiletto Steering box housings are the foundation for the ultimate experience in steering performance – masterpieces of engineering and precision machining. To obtain the optimum rigidity and torsional stiffness necessary to maintain proper gear alignment, the housing is crafted from ultra-tough 2024-T4 billet aluminum. This aerospace-grade aluminum alloy is significantly stronger and has proven to be superior over 6061-T6 or cast aluminum alternatives. The knowledge gained as the industry leader over the last 5 decades has provided invaluable information about what works – and what doesn't. The Smart Design Unnecessary material has been removed in all the right places to save weight without reducing strength where it's needed. The gear box housing and internals are also stabilized from the effects of thermal stress created during production with a patented Sub Harmonic stress relief process. All aluminum components are anodized for corrosion resistance, added durability and good looks. Super Secure & Durable Boots Positive sealing anodized aluminum "threaded boot collars" provide the ultimate seal and retention of the unique nylon interwoven neoprene boots – adding life by keeping moisture and foreign debris out of the mechanism. The Aurora PTFE-lined rod ends provide a secure and dependable connection. We could save a few dollars by using cheaper components as others do – but why sacrifice performance and longevity of an important assembly? Optimized for Performance State-of-the-art manufacturing methods have elevated Stiletto's legendary 'Swiss Watch' performance by holding critical tolerances to microns. Both the rack & pinion are crafted of durable heat-treated chromium alloy and exceed AGMA specs. Black oxide conversion coating improves lubrication retention on critical contact surfaces and corrosion protection. The hardened pinion gear spins on special PTFE-impregnated bushings, and the rack glides on micro-finish, align-honed, wear-resistant silicon-bronze bushings with proprietary formulated Stiletto Lube. Every detail applied in the construction of a Stiletto Steering rack and pinion steering assembly plays an integral part in delivering Stiletto's benchmark smooth action with near zero backlash and durability. We can't tell you all the finite steps required to produce an assembly of this caliber – but will share that a Stiletto Steering System rack-and- pinion should be your only choice.
