Beefed up 22-4 2.0 steering link

The stock steering linkage between the rack and servo horn is a little wimpy.  Some people have reported that it strips out.  I'm not sure that's the case, but I was having issues with my trim getting knocked out of alignment after a hard crash.  So I looked into beefing up the drag link, (as it's called)...

You just need a couple of Losi/TLR parts:
  • LOSA6025 - old school Losi HD ballcups for 3/16" ball studs
  • TLR234038 - a 3.5x75mm TLR HD turnbuckle

You can re-use the stock ballstuds, here's what it looks like installed:



Also check that the ballstud clears the belt tunnel.  Add a 1mm ballstud washer if necessary, mine was gouging the plastic a bit.
