You went with ball joints instead of heims for the steering links? Is there enough articulation in those ball joints to avoid binding at foll droop/compression?

 

[taz1175]

That's one nice looking dune buggy so far !:thumbup:

 

[insaneatvs]

The ball joint rod end will work well with it, if i have trouble down the road i will change them to a heim joint

More pictures...paint and steering

You guys do great work! Nice to see it painted and almost ready to fly.
