First post has been updated with the setup sheet from Axial. Changes: Lunsford Ti Links (4mm) all the way around. Here's what I used: Front uppers: LNS8655 105mm w/ Revo ends. Front Lowers: LNS8660 110mm w/ 1 Revo and 1 Jato end per link. Rear uppers: LNS8660 110mm w/ 1 Revo and 1 Jato end per link. Rear Lowers (Bent): LNS8670 120mm w Revo ends.     I also replaced the stock steering system with a single 140mm Lunsford link with Jato ends. (LNS8690) I had to shave off a bit of the gearbox so it'd clear when steering.   I replaced all the stock bearings in the gearboxes with BOCA Ceramic yellow sealed bearings, and re-greased everything with Axial grease. Here are the flanged bearings I used: http://www.bocabearings.com/bearing-...C2YSNB2-5x8x25  The steering on the truck is simply amazing. Entirely new ballgame!   rYAn Last edited by rbgerrish; 10-10-2010 at 07:46 PM. |

Holy Steering! What do you think helped the most with the steering? The full length steering link, or the knuckles? Or the combo?

The Vanquish knuckles were the big helper. The single link was nice, but mainly just increased durability and reduced slop. Thanks! | |

Looks good. I want to do a similar setup with the lunsford stuff as well.

Now that body looks killer!  Be sure to glue some strong magnets to your C-hubs so they´ll catch the parts from the universals when they start spewing pieces all over the place. Makes the clean up easier.  Now serious. Have you put some runtime on this steering setup yet? How do they hold up? |

I like the steering rod idea. I may do that to mine, looks like it would be much sturdier than the stock setup. That steering angle is insane, i wasnt gonna get any knucks till they broke but this may be a good reason to do it sooner. Does the steering link hang below the axle tubes at all? |

I like the solid tie rod! I notice a lot of guys going to the Ti stuff for the lower links but I also notice the rod ends are larger then the rod... don't you guys get hung up on the rod ends or are you guys filing them down?
