I don't know if there are any sites with a working steer axle, but if it has a multipiece steering setup, you may be able to use pins to make it work. Also, if you are familiar with Italeri's steering in their trucks, the pins holding everything together can be melted slightly with a small screwdriver to hold the parts together, but still be posable.

i have only biult 1/25 trucks, not sure what the differance would be in the width. but i guess i could chop it down if need be. so anybody got any italri front steering axles i could buy or trade for? thanks ; dennis

Hi Dennis... You can take an AMT front axle and make it pose-able by cutting the the spindles at the kingpin area with a jewelers saw with a fine blade (after you drill out the center of the kingpin with a micro drill bit) making sure you keep it straight. Then take a piece of fine hard wire the same size as your micro drill bit and insert it in the hole you drilled gluing it at the top and bottom of the spindle cap area only. You do the same basic treatment to the tie rod ends. Ive done this before and if careful it will work.

That is a nice thread Sergey. You must translate for us.

This kit has working steering already included. If you're missing the parts, SourKraut sells complete KFS steer axles in both 1/24 and 1/25.
