You will need to locate one in stock at a LHS as all the online inventory is sold out. This is common with HR parts. They have droughts all the time.

I’ll have to call around. Both lhs within 30 mins of me sell mainly traxxas stuff. Every time I call they basically tell me I can get arrma stuff cheaper and quicker online. I guess I’ll call around and see if they could ship the parts to me idk

My luck, because of covid-19, all the lhs with in an hour are temporarily closed. Haha my luck.

I remember seeing one in my lhs. They let me dig through their inventory

That was a couple of days ago though. Where are you located?

I can call the lhs and see if he still has it if you're interested.

If you spend a few minutes tweeking the stock bell crank, and swap the crappy plastic bushing for bearing, you will have smooth, zero slop steering. Seriously.

Check each pivot ball, and tweek as need to make it move free. Also make sure your SS is not dragging the chassis - shim the servo up (with flat washers) as needed. This took me half an hour, and made my Granite so much more drive-able...

The aluminum will help to stiffen it up too as a system. The stiffer system can actually translate to a faster response when it doesn't flex under steering load which is what the servo saver should be for. But if the steering rack is flexing you lose some steering performance too.

And I'm at my lhs. Want some stuff myself

I’ll give it a try. I have a bearing kit to install and it came with a bearing to replace the bushing. I ordered the HR aluminum pivot balls too

This might be an alternative until they are back in stock if you want aluminum. They are available in different colors. Not sure if it’s worth the cost though. Does anyone have the bearing specs handy in order to replace the factory bushings?
