i mounted the top link to the inside hole on the top and used a trx ball as a spacer and them mounted the bottom link to the outside holes on the bottom of the knuckles. the result is 50% better steering, and total lockout (the knuckles touch the axle now, eliminating the need for rear steer as well)

yeah, i was dumb and got the RTR; the stock ESC is TRASH, absolute trash (any kind of blip resets it, and it zeroes out the throttle no matter where it is (one time it did it when i had it at full throttle, leading to it going full speed in reverse (16.8v=5mph , a decent jog)
