Default Steering rods, tie rods & links?

Ok, I've looked around this forum about a week now and joined just recently. (I guess this is my official introduction then. lol) I'm new to the whole rock crawling scene. I just purchased a WK a week ago. I've already stretched it by doing what was shown on the threads here. Thank You to all that posted part#'s and pics. It was VERY helpful.

Now for my question. I want to strengthen the steering rods and I was wondering what everyone was using? I looked and looked for a thread and I could not find anything. Maybe I missed it. Anyone have any suggestions?

is suppose you could just use traxxas push rods. King Bling offers an entire steering setup, just go to the vendors forum and you'll find it there

Traxxas rod ends, 4-40 threaded rod, and either brakeline or KS Stainless steel tubing. I've bent a rod that had brakeline, but not the KS. And the Brakeline was from jumping. Haha.

Watch you lower link mount on the chassis. From a bad roll off the side of a mountain (LOL. Kinda) The chassis broke.
