    When do you think the handle upgrade will be available for the Slayer Max 10? And, does the steering conversion kit fit the Slayer Max 10?

    Hi ,
    Is there a steering upgrade/handle that fits the 22 slayer pro max 12.5? Mainly looking for a new steering system that’s. Not plastic. Can you point me in the correct direction.
