Hi again Bob,

there are some tips worth trying here to prevent the steering tie rods popping off:

http://losiracing.blogspot.co.uk/201...-ball-cup.html

It appears the steering rack can catch the ballcups on full suspension articulation and steering lock in race conditions so these are the recommended TLR team fixes whilst they get the updated rack manufactured.

May be worth checking if it is still an issue with you changing to traxxas cups.

I've had no problems with mine so far but glad i got this info in case it becomes an issue.
