I had several comp grade crawlers and I find this CC-02 (73 Bronco) the most fun on the trail, even more so thany SCX10. So why spend the money for a steering link when the stock one works well, I did replace the plastic drag link with an Axial 98 tune (green anodized) with Axial (Traxxas) rod ends which I have plenty in my parts box. Works great and no bump steer
