|  Steering tie rod screw wont stay in
Hey all, so I recently bought my bomber and the steering tie rod screw keeps coming out. Looking in to upgrading but not sure what brand of aluminum to go to. Also, mad that the stock plastic stripped out so easily after two drives since I bought it. I did not overtighten but maybe switching to aluminum is inevitable with this truck. Any suggestions on what brand upgrade or kits. I may want to just do the front and rear linkage upgrades now too so I don't have to keep replacing plastic pieces.

Metal links are kind of a must, I assume you have the RTR with the plastic links? If so at some point you may want to swap all of the links for metal links.

I had the same issue with my metal steering arm. So far blue loc-tite has been holding up after a run, if not I was going to glue the grub screw into the steering arm. Anything metal is an upgrade if you have plastic steering arms but I would suggest Incision stainless steel steering arms, beefier then aluminum and I may still purchase a set myself.

You also should use blue loctite on everything that screws into metal. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |

A set of aluminum steering knuckles and some Loctite are advisable.

Do not buy those aluminum links with the brass inserts that hold the hollow ball in. They wear out fast and are junk. The ssd titanium links with the replaceable m4 revo rod ends are the way to go. Or the incision stainless ones. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |
