Thanks for the response!
I think I'll do that. I was considering just buying one set, and that makes a lot of sense.
On your TA-05 do you use an alloy dogbone, or the stock composite one? I have a Mamba 6900 motor in the car and I think I'll end up getting the titanium one, but I am not sure if the stock dogbones are long enough to really torque and twist up.
Still looking for responses to:
1) GPM tire rods
2) 3 racing versus GPM swing shafts
3) GPM or yeah racing steering sets
