Any tips where i can buy the correct steel online?
As stated before. Piano wire or among many brands, Yokomo rear fits. Just need to bend the ends a little.

I'm assuming you're using the aluminum exotek rack? The CF piece is the next weakest link on the steering system to break after replacing the plastic rack with aluminum. You can double up and run two CF plates on the bell crank, it should help some.

Is anybody else having issue stripping the hole in the diff housing where the turnbuckles connect? I am eating through those things constantly.

how many ball studs washers are you using? if you're using a lot you might need a longer ball stud.

Check your steering endpoints. If they are too high it'll put your entire steering linkage in a bind, which makes things very easy to break.

Stupid question but is the wider swaybar for the front or rear ? I always thought they were the same front and rear but realized they are little different when I changed them out this weekend.

Yes I am assuming that nobody ever realized it because they look really close but there is a small difference.

I am having a problem with the shock package on my D413. I currently have 2x1.6 mm pistons in the front and 2x1.7 mm pistons in the rear, with red front springs and gold rear springs, and TLR 40 oil in the front and TLR 32.5 oil in the rear. The car feels incredibly soft and it has very little pack, as it bottoms out everywhere on the low-medium grip outdoor clay track I race on. The pistons are the drilled blank ones that come with the kit. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong with my shocks/suspension?

I'm running 2x1.6 all around with 37.5/gold springs in the front and 32.5/yellow springs in the rear (kit springs). My car feels great off jumps and through bumps. The large hole pistons will def cause a pack issue in the rear, I'd go up to 35 oil or 2x1.6 pistons. I'm not familiar with HB springs but almost every setup I've seen calls for kit springs.

I'm running same oils and springs, 40wt front and 35wt rear and my shocks are built emulsion style and handle everything great, even at some of the bigger 1/8 tracks too

The problem was the o-rings in the shocks. I have had Traxxas x-rings in the car for about 9 months now without replacing them because the shocks haven't leaked one drop. I put the original o-rings in and even with 25 wt oil front and rear it feels stiffer than it has felt in a while, and it has so much more pack now.
