There's still the issue of the crappily designed steel-on-steel steering rack that develops slop almost immediately. I suggest either getting a king headz steering rack which has brass bushings http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/27104 or make your own with bearings.

Oddly though - I'm having a strangely large amount of slop in my front wheel bearings as well as the steering rack bearings which cause a good amount of the slop. I'm going to put in new bearings and see if it helps much. I replace them pretty often but I'm not sure if I have for a little while...

thats good to know
