I've been studying the Hobao Mini ST pics and it looks like they are using some sort of sway bar to two act as a steering link. I'm guessing this allows for some cushion when the front wheels hit something and the steering is at max turn.
The hyper 9 uses the same sort of wire tie bar between the bellcranks. They include a few different lengths to be used in differnt hoes to alter the ackerman. It may deflect, or even bend, which would be better than a broken bellcrank.
