well for the ax 10 being such a good truck it was an insult that they put the plastic steering on the rtr. you know me... i had to fix mine. 6/32 threaded rod 3ft $5.00 (ace hardware) traxxas rod ends $4.00 (hobby town) some spare screws take a section of threaded rod cut to 13 1/2 cm screw on rod ends, the set aside. next, cut anouther pice to 4 1/2 cm this will be the short part that connects to the servo. on the longer piece mesure one cm from each rod end and make a 30 degree amgle bend. install and use!

Yup, common trick from the old days. You will want to sleeve the links with some brakeline or alu though, otherwise you will break/bend the allthread very easily, especially with the way you had to bend it. Once you get it sleeved it should work well. |

Note to self, NEVER USE ALLTHREAD WITHOUT COVERING. I used it for bent links, and as destroyer showed you about your geometry, mine SNAPPED with the force of 2 backflips and erics little puppy haha |
