3. Playing with a rack style ball stud mount = not enough steering.
I gave up and spent the $100 on the aluminum version. If this breaks you can bet I'll be calling up Jammin Jay and telling him were he can jam it. Or better yet, I'll just start making better aluminum ones and selling them for $50. Do I have any takers?

One other thought - with the RCM extended chassis I installed Mike's Al drag link - I wonder if it might be smart to put the plastic one back there to have something plastic to absord some of the stress.

I also loosened the servo saver spring screw a little bit.

I've been running the plastic drag link with the alum servo saver for the same reason you are thinking. However, I've been having the problem with the plastic link working loose after just a few minutes of driving. I think I'll try the aluminum one with some loctite. I've had one really hard crash with the alum servo saver and it broke a plastic ball cap on a steering link instead of any of the servo saver parts.
