|  Aluminum rod ends
Anyone got recommendations for aluminum rod ends. I can find aluminum replacements for the straight ones but not the curved ones. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk |

I think you will find the majority on the forum will tell you NOT to go with metal rod ends. They get sloppy really quickly so need to replaced more often than plastic. Plastic rod ends stand up fairly well and are relatively inexpensive so are considered disposable items. Traxxas is highly recommended here. Not saying don't go there if you're set on using metal rod ends, just a little info to think about before pulling the trigger. And, sorry, can't help you with a recommendation for a good quality metal rod end. |

Vanquish has some rebuildable machined ones. Maybe check them out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Also I like to think of plastic rod ends as an inexpensive fuse that protects expensive stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
