nice truck, looks good, just buy some links and make your own custom one to fit how u want

looks good....... what i did temporarily for steering was mounted the servo to the axle & screwed the servo arm directly into the stock plastic arm just so i could test & play with it...... before i made my servo mount, i rigged up a longer link outta 1/8" rod to replace the stock steering link (from the center of the chassis to the axle servo saver/pivot ball......

Looks like a good start, What did you use for lthe lower links?

WhellyKing3, My sugestion would be read the thread about steering servo mounts and do that mod next. Make your steering links from 8-32 all thread and ball ends. Mount can be made of 1/8" aluminum. Would be my first step. Then I'd make upper links and attach at the top of the pumpkin.

4x4dodge, i use these for the lower links

Traxxas #5143 Turnbuckels (5.0mm steel) (rear) (2)

im not sure what to use for the upper links though, i was thinking about trying some A-arms, but not sure yet.

i use 6/32 so that you dont drill out to much of the inside of the ball ends. then cut 1/4" brakeline to put over them to help them slide.
