That steering wouldn't last 2 days the way I drive. There's a reason why china companies simply copy the plastic parts out of cheap aluminum, and why the better companies design an actually superior product.

Hot Racing makes some good parts, those don't look to be on that list.

Good job! Have fun. As long as your not plowing the links into rocks at full pelt you'll be fine.

I fell for that to. Cheap links were my bane. Ended up with the VP ones in the end. I also bought the OCP Axle casings from VP. They are poor though. So much slop. I would not buy again. Cost me more money to sort the slop out I did not have with the plastic casings!

No. The stock VP hub fits well on the plastic casings.

when you are said and done with all the aluminum ocp parts you could have bought curries. Just a thought. and they fit together great.
