Thanks
edit
Car is a associated 12r5.1 . Are all 1/12 scale steering ball links the same size? If so what are the preferred ball cups? The associated ones don't pop off but they have a fair bit of slop in them. I'm not opposed to starting with links that are tool tight and bind that you could size to fit.
They make cheaper sets but I had these from my helicopter:

They work pretty well...Also I am seeing a lot of guys go to the tc6 tie rod ends. I am thinking about getting a set the next time I order.
Hope this helps
