MT2 G3.0 Steering Issues
I have an RS4 3 Evo+ and an MT2 G3.0. The MT2 is a great truck, but it has an incredible amount of slop and play in the steering. I cannot seem to find any upgrades that might eliminate most, if not all, of this slop. I am pretty sure that an aluminum upgrade, with bearings (instead of bushings), would probably be the cure. (At least that has been my experience with other trucks.) Even just an aluminum drag link and bearings for the bellcranks would offer at least some improvement. But I can't locate anything of the sort. I cannot even find any specs on the stock bellcrank bushings, so I don't know what size bearings it would take. If anyone has any recommendations for a good aluminum steering upgrade, or if you know the size of the bearings that would be required for the steering bellcranks, that would really be a big help. Thanks for any info you can offer.

RE: MT2 G3.0 Steering Issues
In case anyone is interested (doesn't appear so)... got some info from HPI directly. Bearings are 4x8x3mm. Also discovered that GPM makes an aluminum steering assembly for the MT2. Both ordered. Problem solved.
