Not sure where you're talking about buying from or what links you're talking about, but I can pretty surely say no they won't come with the rod ends. A lot of places sell extra rod ends, but also, your ax-10 kit probably has spares. Why can't you just use the ends you currently have on there though if you are swapping links out?

Yup, for the most part they don't come with the rod ends unless you get something like these.

Other than that, several of the vendors sell the factory parts trees with the rod ends.

If you buy replacement aluminum links they will not come with new rodends.

When you buy new links , they do not come with rod ends. But you can purchase them at any LHS in your area or from one of the vendor from the vendors section. Traxxas makes a variety (revo,jato,stampede) rod ends.

Thats a good question.
I just measured my stock RTR lower links and they measured right about 5".
the Hot Racing links measure just about 4".
would that 1" difference matter or not because i was just about to order these.

I use Axial 30° lowers for both the front and rear, and the standard 55mm uppers with extra spacers for a 4-link upper arrangement - it really helps me.
