Default Upgraded link ends?

Does anyone make a heavier duty rod end for the links on the SCX-10? My plastic ones got wallowed out from getting constantly beat up and now there is some play fore and aft in the axles that I'd like to get rid of. Am I better off getting stock replacements? I'd rather not put more plastic parts in this thing but if it's the only option, I have no choice

tra5318x is what i use up top with the stock 4 link bracket. and i use the jato rod ends on the lowers that have been shortend to the proper length to give it a perfect 12in wb. just a little bit of info for you. and those links have 4mm ends instead of 3mm.

Most people run the Revo rod ends...much stronger than stock.

They are crap. They are aluminum and are too soft.

no. any meatal rod end will strech out and be looser than the plastic even sooner than plastic would. id suggest the Traxxas revo rod ends, about the best rod end out there IMO

TRA2742x are almost the same size as the stock ones. TRA2742 which are the longer ones work well on the bottom of the shocks, raises it around 5mm.

I think Revo rod ends are better than RC4WD's

You can't beat the price and performance of the Revo ends!

I have the Traxxas links, no way you will break those, or bend them
