Steering assembly looks solid. Very little "play", and I don't see anything obviously weak. Typical 8th scale setup, just a tad smaller for 10th scale.

The only thing I can say (and it's minor) is that the linkage from the servo horn to the bellcrank is at a decent angle. The servo horn is higher than most servos I've seen, which would make the difference. The only reason why it sits so high is so that the linkage clears the servo case on either end of the throw; a longer arm would solve that. But like I said, that's a very minor thing and not worth even looking at TBH.

Unrelatedly; another thing I just noticed is that the front/rear diffs, being helical cut, are very quiet when spun. If a plastic spur is used on this thing, it could make for a VERY quiet running conversion.
