Last night, I kept popping the steering rod ends off the ball cups. I already had the Kyosho ends installed. I put new ones on and theys still popped way too easy. So I tried something I saw Steve Slayden do to an 8T in OKC. I used heavy duty Traxxas push rod ends and the balls to make captured rod ends. Worked awesome. In fact, it worked so good I think I found the next weakest link.
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/7734 I have broke many of these rear hinge pin covers before, so I don't know if it is related to my captured ends or not. anyways, is there something other than plastic for these pieces. I had smacked a wall pretty hard to break it, so it's not like it's weak. Just wondering.
