Default Turnbuckle kit recommendations

Got my kit friday and put it together this weekend. First thing i noticed was how flexy the steering was. Can anyone recommend a good turnbuckle kit with better rod ends and ball joint that include the servo turnbuckle? I'm already ordering either an STRC or HR bellcrank kit so all i need now is the turnbuckle kit.

That tiny servo turnbuckle is garbage. Would greatly appreciate some recommendations!!!

I used traxxas turnbuckles and rod ends. I like the VP and Carter Fab links but they aren't adjustable so I made my own. It was actually one of the first mods I did to my yeti. I don't remember the exact part # for the turnbuckles I used but a quick search should get you the info you need. Most LHS should have what you need in stock too.

VP has 2 kits, stainless steel and Ti.

SS kit: Incision Yeti 1/4 Stainless Steel Front Link Kit - Vanquish Products

Ti kit: Yeti 3/16 Titanium Front Link Kit - Vanquish Products

Edit: here is a link to there yeti section: http://www.vanquishproducts.com/axial-yeti-parts/

They make a ton of stuff for the yeti. If you want to ditch the servo saver, they sell an aluminum bell crank and steering rack.
