I use 3/8 delrin, 8/32 althread and Jato rod ends. I tap the Jato ends to 8/32. Been using the same links for months!! No issues at all. For about $15-20, you have links for a long time!! Just a thought.

You definitely have some other type of issue. Are you using cheap rod ends or the wrong thread size? I also run Jato ends tapped to 8-32 with 5/16" Delrin rod. Lots of hard falls and still no breakage. |

^ What they said. Axial makes some badass rod ends. I find it hard to believe they are just mysteriously stripping

The traxxis end links are really strong. I haven't had any problems with my stock axial ends, besides threading the set screw in too far...  |
