fixing the steering link
During break in the steering link came off. I could not find the parts. Can someone give me a link to the parts I need for this?

usually I look to see if the screw has enuff threads showing to put a locknut on it...if it doesnt I buy a bit longer screw that will allow me to do just that....regardless, it is very important to go over the rc before its ran and check all the screws and put blue locktite on all screws going into metal

WOW!!!!, your still waiting on an answer?....you need a 3mm x 16mm countersunk screw and a 3mm nut....you can take the one from the other end of the steering link to your local hardware store and they maybe able to hook you up....if not check out rtlfastners.com

I'd also suggest these screws for the knuckles...they are a bit longer (stock arent long enuff in my opinion).....I put a bit of tire glue (super glue) on the threads right before I screw em in...this helps keep them tight, and the 2mm longer screw helps also...if not you risk fighting screws coming loose and or pulling the threads outta the front knuckles
