Default Aluminum upgrades Rgt 136100 Rock cruiser

I just upgraded my tire size on my Rgt rock cruiser and now my servo is struggling. I am concerned if I upgrade my steering servo that I will start breaking plastic parts in the steering. I see a Ton of flex with the servo I have now. Like the tires don't move when trying to navigate while I crawl on rocks sometimes, but I can see the plastic parts flexing under the power of the servo. I found some aluminum upgrades on Amazon, but this crawler is generic and I hope I can buy something I don't have to wait a month to get from China.

The RGT Rock Cruiser is almost the same as the ECX Barrage ... you may look for its servo mount, it's aluminum.
If you haven't already, fish a pair of aluminum spools, those are mandatory on this platform.

Take a look at this thread, you'll find lots of info -> Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!

Making steering links can be done easily. Some 3mm threaded rod cut to size and sleeved with 3/16 brake line will stiffen things up as well as the metal servo plate already mentioned.

Us seller servo mount

Also look for steering knuckles for ecx temper or temper 2. Same axles
