I also have one more build tip -- I have now seen 3 or 4 different experienced builders who had their outdrive set screws come loose on their first run, I have now had 2 of them come loose myself. There are two outcomes to that set screw coming loose -- either the outdrive stays on the shaft, but loose, and you have a 3WD car... or the outdrive flies off completely and you end up looking for it on the track. While it is only one set screw, you will have to take the diff out to get the outdrive properly reattached.
So, the lesson is to be liberal on the loctite on your outdrive set screws, and be sure to really tighten them firmly. I believe this is step B-1 in the build.

On the subject of the steering link I took an old Lunsford 3 1/4" XX4 Titanium offset steering turnbuckle and use the old Losi HD ball cups from a XXX-CR. Fits perfect, super durable and a nice tight fit. My friends and I started stripping the stock setup with the aluminum bell cranks and exotek steering horns. Since going to our XX4 based system we've had no issues.

I should mention that just picking up new cups and using the stock link instead of the JC Finned one fixed my issues with this (maybe hitting the walls less too ), it looks like the threads in the JC rod are actually not as "deep" as the stock rod which might have been contributing too.

I just watched it on Facebook, is there a way we can get a link to it here in the forum so that we can add it to the wiki etc? People can get a little derpy and confused when you tell them "find it on facebook" (as you found out when mentioning your painter today), so a youtube link or just a permalink that lets people view the video without logging in would be nice.

Update on the unscrewing steering turnbuckle, so it turns out that I did not have the right end point adjustments and I think it was forcing out the link, I ran the car today and did not have 1 issue. I'm running box setup with 30k in the diffs on a low traction bumpy track, the tire of choice is a aka I impacts and the car performed good, still needs a little more forward traction, also the rear end is very bouncy and gets unsettled when I land a big jump. Any suggestions

Does losi label their oils different kinda like AE does.
I'm not a big 1:10 scale guy so idk if it is the difference in brands or if 1/10 buggies need such high cst oils..
Btw I only use losi shock oil in all my vehicle and now gonna give AE shock oil a try now that it's Lucas oil

I wouldn't mess with the hole, rather just the pin slot.
