update on steering on the rustler

Steering problems with rustler
UPDATE: I had adjusted the steering/toe links to the same length. Also Centered the servo saver and the servo. To my conclusion I think it is the steering block. For steering blocks - Aluminum or RPM plastic? If I go aluminum I will get aluminum caster blocks because I am already there to replace it. When I turn the wheel it goes to far inward. Also It has a lot of play in it.

I found these Atomik RC steering and caster blocks on amazon. These just popped up on my recommended page Atomik RC Alloy Front Steering Block Atomik RC Alloy Caster Block

I would use the alloy caster blocks but stay away from aluminum arms.
A good thing to remember is, any aluminum part will transfer the shock to a weaker area. Just keep that in mind.
I would definitely use RPM arms.

For the arms - the stock arms had been working good so far. RPM Arms are on my upgrades list. Also RPM front bulkhead. I have RPM Rears on my slash and recently put RPM Front arms and front bulkhead in.

Sounds like an awesome rig.
I am a firm believer in soaking the a-arms in WD40. I have always done that and supposedly it makes them more flexible and less likely to break.
