| broken lower link rod end
I somehow managed to break one of the lower link rod ends while testing in the floor of my house. I have searched around and have not seen any upgraded ends anywhere. Does anybody know where to get some that are better than the stock ones? I saw the hot racing lower links at tcs that come with alum ends, but if I could save $$and just get the ends that would be great. I was also thinking about delrin links but from what I can tell I would just have to buy rod and make them. Without any equip I would not be able to. Unless anybody knows how to do it cheap and easy. |

Do you mean the link end is not bent? My front ball end is strait and my rears have about a 45 dec bend in them and that is the one I broke. Would putting a strait ball end in it be ok?

I replaced the bent ends with aluminum straight ends from hot racing. Here a link to Liquid Rc http://www.liquidrc.com/index.php?ma...ducts_id=42759 |

Thanks for the link. That is exactally what I was looking for. I was googling it but having a hard time finding any. I guess these are just for the axle side or will the work on both sides of each link?

That would give a few extra incase one breaks. I may order both. Run the hotracing ones and keep the others just incase one of the aluminum one break or something. Thanks for the help guys. |
