Default Spacer size for rod ends/links?

I'm having trouble downloading manuals and parts diagrams from Axial Racing's website. I think my phone had a dang update a while back and screwed up downloading files.....not sure.

Anyway I'm trying to find the O.D. of the plastic rod ends and the ends of the connecting links. I think Axial touted them as 4mm but is that I.D. or O.D.?

Thanx for any help friends.


Oh amd my truck is at my daughter's house right now So I can't measure for myself. I just wanted to add some spacers to my order.

OG aluminum upgrade links were 6mm wide at the end I believe, you'll see 6x90 on the side, scale measurements. Saw some axials that were 7mm recently but not sure of rod ends I just try to use whatever makes them flush with the material I'm making links out of. Also make sure I'm measuring eye to eye or tip of rod end to other tip per whatever instructions I'm following to get a desired wheelbase.

10.1 = 6mm, pretty sure these were M3 thread

10.2 = 6.8mm, M4 thread

Cool thanx for the info.
4x6mm at 1mm thick. That should do the trick, for a flush fit from rod end to connecting link?

You're working on a 10.2 I assume?

I'd go 7mm, 6 would likely have a noticeable step

Yes I am.
Lmao. Ok gotcha. I'm laughing at myself. I didn't catch on previously, how you listed both versions of the SCX10.
I'm reading too much documentation at my job and all the numbers almost mean nothing anymore....like the Regulation 10.65.6 & 11.34.2 & on & on.

lol, no worries. I've had to spend countless hours going through multiple standards and codes myself so I feel your pain...
