Talking Steering Tie Rod Stripped

Just got a new Bomber. The steering tie rod stripped after driving twice. Looking to upgrade to aluminum but not sure what kind of kit to buy? GMP, Vanquish, etc.. Any suggestions for linkage and sterring upgrade kits???

Incision stainless link kit is very good and cost effective.
There is also JEC Racing links which require you to buy traxxas rod ends and axial width brass balls.

I went for JEC Racing stainless links and trailing arms, traxxas rods ends and VP brass balls.

VP also makes good trailing arms but their fixed rod end design is not for everyone...

I found the VP stainless links to be very heavy, and were the straw that started breaking the camel's back. As it sits, my rig is very heavy. When I added the stainless links, I started stripped servo gearing and burning them out. I went back to the aluminum kit links to save some weight.

My $.02,
