Rear Steering Lockout/Axle Suggestions

I finally got my pinion installed in my WK and realized that their was one big problem. The front and rear differential were installed backwards. When the BL motor would turn in the conventional CCK direction, the truck moved backwards. Oops (another issue when you buy a used RC vehicle and dont go there it with a comb). Well once I completed the overhaul and got it all corrected, realized that I had snapped a front axle.

Also, I would rather have straight rear steering lockouts than the brace that connects the left and right steering blocks and restricts this steering.


Anyone have any suggestions for rear steering lockouts? Found these on Ebay:

They also come with new rear axles so that I could take the stock rear axles and potentially use them in the front.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I was always partial to the RC4WD ones, bit more money than strc or hot racing but worth it IMHO

Ended up buying the Hot Racing rear lockouts on Ebay (along with extra front drive shafts). Will hopefully get this this week and complete install. Will post pics when done.
