Whatever wish you were there to see it.

I pulled mine out, but it was nothing a little CA glue could not fix.

So do I. I would have been there hollering for them to beat on it, and when it cut loose I would have patted them on the back and handed them another one. Tell them to contact me for a replacement. Thanks.

I have to admit I pretty much break everything that I own at some point. The KK steering tie rod has held up and if it does let go KK gives a no questions asked replacement. Pretty hard to complain about that.

I do have to say that Yotachump's OTA setup looks pretty good and everything that I have gotten from him in the past is very nice. You would be served well with either as both are from top notch guys.

This is true! He always tells me to "drive it like it has a free lifetime replacement warranty....." Well Kamikaze doesn't actually say all that, He tell me to "beat the dog $hit out of it!" I actually try to break Kamikaze's stuff. In this picture, I pulled the threads out of a traxxas rod end and never even stressed the chassis. And as for breaking the steering, I have tried. It aint happening. You might be able to pull the threads out of the Revo ends, which will happen before it pulls out of the delrin.

Man, a bolt fell out on the bottom of my knuckle, and the knuckle was almost dangling, and I bent a berg knuckle, and the steering link was fine..... Maybe something was up with that Steering linkage. Maybe just an accidental mistake while in the building process.

Dang CBR, I wish I had the freedom to bash the piss outa my truck like that :-(

Kamikaze makes me do it! I pulled the knuckle bolt threads out of an axle tube at ECC! No KK parts failure. And popped the balls out of Revo ball ends on my upper links. I wish they made rod-ends out of delrin.

Delrin Haterz!

Don't be afraid of a little fab work to make any of the kits work for you.

I did this with a dremel and a piece of flat stock from Lowe's.
