Snake or Mich or anyone with Revo experience please help
I have read that I can hop up my LSp with the red revo push rods (I think 105mm)
The use for these on the lsp is for the steering tie rods. My question is are these adjustable so that I can adjust my front toe.
Thanks

They might work but theres only I believe about 3-4mm of thread on them.
Whats the part number ? 5318X 5319X ? I can mail you a set to try befor eyou go buying some.
Another thing, it might be kinda had to make adjustments on them since theres no hex on them to put a wrench on.
Either way, let me know dude if you want to try out a set. If you end up buying some and don't like them or they dont work, I'll buy the used ones from you. =)

Are the steering rods a weak link on the LSP ?
How about using the rear tie rods from a Revo ? I'm almost positive that those are pretty damn close to the length your looking for.

Thanks snake,
No not really a weak point, I have broke the plastic ball ends twice so far. But you have seen me drive....
I just saw on another forum that a guy was using them, but if there is no adjustability there is no sense in them. I think I might get the titanium ones for the savage they are suppose to work also.
You know me, always trying to mod or change something....

After seeing that, I think maybe the rear toe links might be too long for your app.
George, I'll be at AL's around 7-7:30. Maybe we can look through the stuff at Al's and see if we can find something that'll work.

Havent seen or heard any opinions on them. They look trick but, something about running hollow rods just doesnt want me to go out and get them. I run the Lundsford ti tie rods on mine for the strength factor. Holding up pretty good after some of the nasty crashes I've had.

The text says 128mm. I don't own them, though. Wish I did. Cool looking.

I don't always believe everything I read usually, but the engineering principle is sound. A bigger diameter hollow tube will be stronger than a thinner solid piece, even if the solid piece is stronger material. I'm in the conveyor business, and we make rollers to carry heavy pallet loads of stuff. The bigger the roller diameter, the stronger it gets (to a point). Hollow is good!

I'm still not gonna run out and buy $50 worth of parts to fix something that I haven't broken yet. Those marketing guys at Traxxas are good!!
