Steering Drag Link for the RC18, v1.1

Steering Drag Link for the RC18, v1.1
Team Associated's RC18 line of vehicles are a good way to get into the hobby.  They're inexpensive and truly ready to run at about $140.  They do however, have one glaring problem:  Steering.  The stock steering setup has so much flex that the car barely wants to turn, especially at speed.  (Since this is a 4-wheel drive car, some understeer is expected, but this is ridiculous!)  Even if you're not racing, you might still want to do this mod since it's not hard and improves the steering responsiveness.  You could buy a part for this, but why buy when you can make?

Supplies
To make this, we'll need:
-a piece of sturdy plastic (Don't use a CD as previously mentioned.  I've made 2 from CDs now and they've both broken on the first crash.  You can see one and what's left of the other on either side of the #5 plastic one in this crummy picture.)  My piece of plastic came from the flat surface of a CD spindle.
-to print off the template picture in this step
-a Sharpie
-a cutting device (Dremel, hobby knife, &C.) and safety knowledge pertaining to the use of said device!  This Instructable assumes that you already know proper safety procedures!
-1.5mm/ 3/32 inch hex wrench, included with the car
-Phillips head #1 screwdriver
