Why not go with the revo knuckles and axles? Then with those knuckles your tie rod would be up higher and out of the way.

well, i dont have alot of money right now....lol...but my main problem on why i broke them is cuz the ones that broke were the older yokes ( i was using the wrong word..hahahahaha)....i had newer style shafts, which have the bigger ball joint thing...well, newer and older dont mix...i drilled out the old ones to make them fit...those are the 2 that have broke...

yeah, i get alot...but im workin on tweakin the set up...the shocks i have are the proline powerstroke shocks...theyre adjustable, so im making them stiffer as needed to reduce the twist...

oh...and i think i finally found some beadlocks for my crawler...lol.. we'll see tho
