The ones pictured look like the ones some guy in japan makes for the FC. You can find them in japanese auctions but they don't ship to the states.

Pan Speed and FEED both make Tie Rod ends for the FC. Good luck findind a shop that can get them, Ordering mines through Signal probably next week, looking at about 350 for just the end links from Pan Speed. The FEED setup is a whole kit and its like 450-500.

I don't understand how that will affect the steering ratio either.
It DOES allow adjusting the steering geometry for BUMP STEER correction...maybe.

I have a few sets arriving within a couple of weeks. My price is no were close to signal. In fact you can nearly get two sets for the price you are paying.

I dont seem to have much problem with it...

And I have seen pros take a stock FC and do things on a drift that you wouldnt believe.
