What is a good way to tighten up the drag link to remove slop? I have way to much wheel wobble from the drag link slop. You guys know what Im talking about, you hold the tire in your hand and move it a little bit and it feels loose. Carrier pulls on the end rod, end rod pulls on the bell crank, and the bell crack pulls on the drag link. Ive read some are using aluminum upgrades but that seems to have some play in it too. Also read Teflon tape on the drag link as well as using shoulder screws . Below is the stock bell crank that I have. Thanks for any info.

It's normal to have a little play. U only worry if its starting to wander....
best at option is to get a bellcrank kits. Like the slash 4x4 or the proline bellcrank. It will make everything new and tight again
im running a 4x4 slash bellcrank in mine, it uses a rigid servo horn and the servo save is incorporated into the bellcrank, it's better than stock but still a bit soft IMO.
Id reccomend the proline kit but for a cheaper option the 4x4 kit is ok.
