I wound up making a temporary steering link by useing a tierod and a couple of shock eyelets. Works awesome zero slop for now. The only slop I do have now is as mantis mentioned is the stub axles. I'll order some washers for that too. I also did a expirement where I pulled both rear arms off the car and put foil tape on the bottom of each arm and then filled the pockets with hot glue. It did eliminate some flex and added a little weight. I'm curious to see how it drives now.
Same tires i used,ordered a new set along with two Warrior bodies.Good thinking by the way.Where can i purchase items that Mantis is offering ? Chris.
