|  Link Material.
Ok guys iam looking for some link material for my honcho. What is "best" I like the all thread and brake line look with jato rod ends but how well will it hold up ? I have the stock plastic or delrin links now and there starting to get real flexable and iam looking to go lil more scale. I know about the ones axial sells and i just think there to high and have seen alot of them bent . So what can you guys tell me.

Not sure about the brake line part, but the rest sounds good. For the most part, tube material is usually aluminum or stainless steel. I use the aluminum as it is cheaper than the stainless, but it's up to you which to use. I have not bent anything yet.

I use 8/32" all thread, large revo rod ends, and 1/4" stainless tubing. Works great.

I use solid rod, grind the tips down and tap em and screw Revo rod ends to em. Heavy, skinny and solid! Matt |

do you have access to a lathe? I would just machine your own links  |

well i got my break line and all thread and jato rod ends . the break line is 1/4'' and the all thread is 8-32 not to sure about the ends tho i chunked the pack b4 i looked but i know there the big style and come 12 to a pack it will take 2 packs to do all 8 links and the steering links. Feels solid as a rock much better than stock and a whole lot cheaper than just buyin some iam happy thanks guys  |
