Stainless Siccario Arm Braces – How To

After a few requests I thought I would write this quick guide on how I made the arm braces for my Siccario.

Update: Andy Shen now ships all new Siccario with a carbon version of these struts 👌🏻 They are also avail on his spares page.

I ordered 4 of these track rod end joints/knuckles and used a Dremel to cut them back so the ball inside is flush with out outside of the knuckle, it’s a bit fiddly but it means the knuckle fits under the motor:

You will also need 2x 220mm lengths of stainless threaded bar, you can order 2x 300mm here and cut it down with a Dremel or similar. You may need to adjust the length but 220mm is a good place to start:

Once you have the knuckles cut down and the bar the right length, add an M3 nylock to each end, fitted backwards as per the pictures, then attach a knuckle to each end:

Finally attach to the Siccario by removing one of the M3 motor mount bolts and replacing it with a longer 25mm bolt so there is enough length for the knuckle as well. I also have a washer between the knuckle and the carbon:

Enjoy reduced vibrations with those larger motors!
