Since I more or less had the truck completely apart to redo the diffs and replace a broken arm and update turnbuckles to the EXB versions, went ahead and did the hot racing bearing steering rack and alum top brace, as well as put in the HD servo spring. Definitely a huge improvement over the stock pieces.

Replaced one broken front arm,
added exb turnbuckles (not pictured)
updating f/r diff cases to aluminum hot racing units, and going to 500k/2 plugs+20mil/100k fluids and 4/5mm swaybars.
Updated shocks to 37F/32R oil.
Added CF sleeves to all four bash braces.

Should be good for handling and durability. I don't really send it, but prefer a well-handing truck on dirt. It currently has an 800kv hw/max5 and the big savox mg servo (that is still kind of weak to be honest). Hope to get it all back together next week and see how it does.

Any flex reduction in the steering control mechanism is a good thing. That piece sees 100#+ loads because it not only locates the steering components, it also locates the ucas.
