XR10 steering linkage

OK folks I have been lurking and reading for a while. I bought a used XR10, it seems to be in good shape for the most part. However, the hole that the tierod attaches to on one end of the steering slider is stripped. I have a new slider ordered, however, I got to wondering the following things.

1.) Is this a common problem?

2.) If it is common, should I replace the slider and tierods with one longer turnbuckle, or is there a better way of repairing/modifying it?

That is what I was thinking. The slider is ordered but won't be in until Friday. I doubt I will be able to go pick it up till Saturday. But if I can source the parts to make a straight link locally before then it's on, and I can keep the slider in my range bag.

Any sugestions on what to make the link out of?

Do I need the large or small rod ends? Traxxas 5347 or traxxas 5349?

5347 on the revo rod ends...Im just suggesting something better than stock & easy to make. The best solution is to get a titanium link for xr's

Unfortunately the link was to your cart which didn't come through. I found the ti links there but still don't know what length.

I'm have the same problem finding that info also. I built the all thread link but I'm not liking it.

Just don't like the way it looked. I made a link using some graphite tubing and all thread ends. Looks much cleaner and has held up to some hard hits. I modded the axial housing and can run the link behind the axial.

I was thinking about doing 10 in the ones without springs and 20 in the ones with springs if I decide to test it again. I'm not really sure how the dual shock setup adds or multiplies the dampening etc.
