Ellis Stafford designed a part for the X - 5/xx-4 steering that may solve many of your problems, the CF steering rack ES006. We still have them in stock, and I know D.M.S. has them too. It replaces the Losi drag link with a CF part held in with screws & bushings rather than ball studs, and it also changes the steering geometry a bit to help out. Big E can tell you more, although I suspect there is a long-ago thread about it. Far less expensive than milling your own stuff from aluminum and the CF may be even cooler, certainly lighter.
