I bought some solid aluminum rod from a hardware store and made mine. If I found the length I needed I drilled into the ends and tapped some treads, then cut some small all-thread Rd and installed one the end then used some Traxxas ball end links and that's it.It was easy! Sorry I'm a noob so I can't post pictures

the best upgrade I did was cut the stock tire foams and added wheel weights. If you haven't done that, start there. I put 4oz in the front wheels and 3 oz in the rear. such a difference.

4oz each front? and 3 oz each rear? what did you use for weights? regular car weights from like Americas tires?

I took the wheels/tires apart, cut the foam into a star patter to allow more tire flex and then along the center channel of the wheel added generic auto stick on wheel weights and then also wrapped the in black tape just in case they came loose. My for LNC 2.0 I found that the 4oz front's / 3oz's rear's worked for me.

I originally only added 2oz to the rear but once I added the rear steer kit, I opened them back and added another 1oz. It seems to really help the rear steer.

great thanks, I was scrolling through the posts in this section and it seems like its not very active a lot of old posts but some good info just hard to determine if the info is up to date or if its info on older versions

You can use axial metal links. I can't remember the part number but if you measure the stock one axial makes a metal link that with a short spacer will give you a little toe in and zero toe in with a big spacer and some toe out with a big spacer on one end and a small on the other.

Try blue monkey rc! There products are very nice. Also Robbob with crazed builds. I built my son a comp rig with the parts from these 2 companies.
