That's good to know Evan. I'll keep that in mind if I get more adventuresome with these. For now, I was motivated as much by the need to get some custom relay rods made up for the 40 and 55 series running the Scout type ps conversion.
IIR, I will get thread specs from you at the meeting.
Got the prototype in today! Looks like a good match up for length, and accepts standard FJ40-type metric tie rod ends. Should have the rest of the batch in next week.
Even though I scrapped my mini-truck PS for the grand dreams of a 60 series set up, I'll buy one.
draglink now posted in the for sale section.
Looks good!
Looks good!
Thanks! I rebuilt the center arm yesterday too. It should handle like a slot car now!

Time to 'drag' this up again.
I need one of these desperately and didn't know this thread existed!! Do you have any for sale??
Mark,
I'd like to uprade to 80 TRE's. Would your drag link be compatable?

I have a couple left in this batch, and will be making more shortly.

Thanks.
Kevin, I can see doing the upgrade on the main steering rod [tire to tire] but I would NOT upgrade the relay rod or the drag link with PS and a stock center arm.
Why? Do you think it would make the center arm fail or something if you have power steering?
I have seen stock center arms fail before, and if I had a choice in determining what would be the weak link { I wrote an article on this very subject for TT a few years back] I'd rather see a relay rod bend than a center arm fail.
Thanks, I am still debating which way to go with my steering.
Bringing this back to life... are these still available?
