Outcast New Outcast 2.5 Steering Issue

[Shakerharley]

I have a brand new Outcast 2.5 and I was in the process of checking the diff fluid levels. After turning it upside down a small bearing fell out. I found it came from the steering linkage. I have included two photos of the steering linkage post from where it fell out. My question is what keeps these bearings from falling out when I run it? And is this new truck missing a part to hold them in place?

Hey,

When you place the upper part back, it will hold everything in place

The upper diff housing has the molded in tabs to hold it in place ,once you have the housing securely mounted.

I thought this forum was to get away from reality. Getting slapped back into it is no fun. Party pooper

Well it is for that too obviously because who wants to really deal with reality anymore?
