Default DeadBolt link opinions

My new DeadBolt has too much flex in the steering links for my liking, so thinking about a link kit. Don't really care for making my own at this point so I am wondering which way to go, Axial aluminum aftermarket aluminum or Titanium. Opinions and pro's/cons more then welcome since it's my 1st Axial truck.

Have also run an Integy steering link set with good results.
Aluminum is cheaper that titanium but, aluminum will show rock rash a lot quicker. Not that's a bad thing but, if you wanna keep your rig pretty longer than titanium would be the way to go. Any alloy link will be better than the plastic. Might want to look at alloy radius rods(suspension links) also.

Friends don't let friends buy Integy or Hot Racing. Cheap Chinese crap at its very best.

Stainless or titanium is going to be your best bet if you're not going to go with a stronger Delrin style link.

I would go with ti or stainless steel with revo rod ends rod ends.
The revo rod ends will hold up better than the stock which can be pulled off the set screw.
