Yikes! My Mini-T is out of commission!!!

Sadly, while racing the Mini-T around the basement with my son, I manged to crash it into the wall and break one of the camber tie-rods!! Argh - and i was *just* at the Hobby Shop the other day which is like 20 miles away! Looks like i will be making another trip there soon...


Now I am trying to decide whether to replace them with the stock rods, which break somewhat easily, but only cost about $2.00 for 6....or do I upgrade them to Titanium turnbuckles which cost about $23 on Amazon? Decisions decisions....right now, I'm thinking I'm going to buy a couple packs of the cheaper rods and a front bumper to dampen the impact of head on collisions...and see how it goes. If I break both sets even with the bumper, then I'll spend the $ on the Titanium set... (yes, I'm that cheap - but I'm also thinking I want to keep the weight down on the vehicle, so I'm avoiding attaching many metal components to it......for now)


Anyways, here are the products I'm looking at:
- Standard Losi Camber/Steering Link ($2.00)
- Titanium Losi Turnbuckle Set ($26.00)
- RPM Wide Front Bumper ($6.00)
