Default 'bout had it

I Love my Lst, Best monster truck out there, however i have about had it with breaking tie rod ends. Every weekend at the track I break at least one. Can't finish the race if the truck won't survive. Any ideas on what to replace them with? Help or this LST is going to turn into an 8th scale buggy.[X(][sm=RAINFRO.gif]

Where and how are you breaking them? Jumps? Roll overs? I have never bent one, and I put mine 8 feet in the air. That's not to say I don't bust stuff, mostly A arms, and now a rim. If you have aluminum A arms the stress is just transferring to the next weakest part of the suspension.

Lundsford Ti rods with stock ends. I've never bent or broken one during a race. If you are even considering getting a 1/8 buggy then Monster truck racing my not be your thang and you should just do that. Be happy!!

Aluminum ones are available, made by Hot Racing:

I would also like to use them on my genesis. Are the LST tie rods 4 mm thread?

Thanks
