| Needing angled rod ends
I'm putting 4 wheel steering on 2 Scorpions. Is there a cheaper alternative for the slightly bent rod ends that go on the longest steering rod, besides buying 2 of the AX80005 linkage set parts trees? This is over $12 for just needing the 2 bent rod ends on each parts tree. I have plenty of the straight short ones left over from the kit build. Axial: Is there any other way to get the angled steering rod ends other buying the whole 80005 parts tree? Last edited by NitroStar; 12-18-2007 at 02:28 PM. |

Why don't you make your own links and put a bend in the links? ...I have no idea if that will work cause I don't have rear steer...but it does in my head :p

check out "over the top"thread..used revo front turnbuckle(pn 5143)which is 5 1/2" c-c ...slight bend about 3/8" in the middle should be enough clearance try to use inner holes on knuckle (breaks there if using outers

If you're dead set on an angled rod end. I have had luck with using a Jato end. Thread in your link material, heat up the rod end a bit in the center of the shank as far away from the pivot ball as you can, and just bend it a bit. The shanks on those Jato ends are somewhat longer, so there's room...but the Jato's are large ends. I have also just bent the rods themselves also.
