Bent the tie rod on the Raptor the other day, took it off and straightened it. My question is will it hold or will it bend more easily now?

yep. I wish it was the rods I had trouble with. I seem to always break the ends. At $50 bucks I could have already bought a-arms with stronger tie rods.

Alba has a great, strong Pro-Racer tie-rod set at around $140. I've put my Rappy thru hell and back, and the whole Alba front is still holdin' on strong.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
