Steering link and stabilizer: Treal


3D Printed:
Front Inner Fenders: Thingiverse
Rear Inner Fenders: Thingiverse
Trunk: Thingiverse
Servo Extension Clips: Thingiverse
Hood Hinges: Thingiverse

Current Pics:

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!

First of all, welcome!

But unfortunately, I've got nothing good to say about the Treal links. I got them for mine and I've already replaced them with Vanquish Incision links. The difference in slop between the two was night and day.

Hello! Are you talking about the Treal steering link and stabilizer? Or upper and lower links that you have had problems with? Thanks!

Upper and lower links. Not sure if the steering links I had were Treal or not, I'd never seen them before (I picked up my Wraith used). The Vanquish links were pricey, but man, this thing is solid as a rock now, worth every penny

You will eventually have problems with any link like those in the pic, either steering tie rod or drag link, or any suspension link, that has those captured ball ends with the brass retainer rings.
Treal, Integy, Boom, GPM, HR, they'll all do it in the end
That goes for any shock using them also.
The retainers eventually wear loose in the aluminium link & the pivot balls develop bad slop in the linkages.

Any solid rod link, stainless or titanium as preference, with M4 thread on ends, most often using Traxxas Revo ends, is far superior in the long run.

This is good information, where could I find those links? Have any specific place you reccomend? Thanks again!

Oh okay, I got the upper/lower links from a friend, not sure of the brand. I only have metal front lowers installed right now.

As posted above Vanquish / Incision
SSD & Samix do some also

I have several variants for the RC4x4 Stainless links too & never had an issue with any

Avoid anything that has only M3 ends to suit stock Axial rod ends, they're well known to be not as durable as the M4.

i am running links that use 3m hardware and im not having any issues at all on a 12lb wraith my 1/5 th scale wraith eats 3m hardware but anything smaller its fine can you break them ya but i usaly have other issues first 4m is always better but 3m works

i have a hole mess of aluminum rod ends like it was sead above the ball falls out and creates alot of slop i have fixed that on my steering links but i cant find a fix for the suspention links ive been using rc4wd rod ends laitly cause there cheap i havent snaped one yet the traxxasss rod ends seem to go pop if they hit a rock or somthing nothing like buying a vanquish kit and installing it to get 3 minutes on the first pack and then have to pack up and go home cause my rod end broke before even getting to the rocks

Thank you for the info. My roommate has those with the M3 ends and they strip often, that is why I avoided them in the first place. I might have to check out the M4 though.

I have a similar set of beadlock wheels little different spoke pattern. Despite what some say the treps are awesome all around tires I ran 50g in the front vented and tuned foams and they worked killer.
