1/4" or 5/16" delrin for steering links?
 
Just wondering what i should use. I was going to order some 1/4", the sie would be right, to save ground clearance, but would it be strong enough? However i have 5/16" already, but it seems a little to beefy for steering links...

I've been running 1/4" tubing on steering links for quite a while with no issues.

I run the 5/16th on both my Axial and my Bully with no issues. The axial takes a small bit of work to get it not to hit the diff housing at full lock. It will work though. The 1/4th seems like it would be to week in delrin for a high powered servo...

Dude.....look at mine on Saturday at the comp.

1/4" is too bendy by itself.

5/16" is kinda bulky.

1/4" Delrin filled with 4mm threaded hardened steel and finished with REVO ends. SUPER STRONG & THIN & still SLICK if they touch a rock. "thumbsup"

I would, but im probably not going to make it, unless i figure out what my radio is up to. I think it took a shit. :evil: Thanks for the opinions though guys!

Yah, 14" is way too bendy, I'd use it for upper links at the most, 5/16" everywhere else.

I buy tube, but the I.D. is too small to fit 4mm threaded steel stock....so I then drill it out.
