revo rod end size?
 

can someone show or tell the the size diffrence from the regular traxxas rod ends and the revo ones? i want to run 3/8's links but dont want big links with little rodends. or if you know of any rodends that are about that size. thanks

The heads are pretty much the same size, but the shank of the Revo's are a bit larger in diameter and are round instead of hexagonal shaped. The diameter of the Revo shanks is 7mm (a hair over 1/4").

If you're looking for a larger rod end, you could try the Kyosho one's like what are used on the Inferno's: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/3854 which are more like 8mm (roughly 5/16")

.....or these: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/6046 which are about 10.5mm (a hair larger than 3/8")

i used jato rod ends ,they are just over1/4 inch dia. and drilled out my links to 8/32 and havent pulled a link off the thread since ,the 3mm axial uses is just to week."thumbsup"

Here is a revo rod end on a 3/8" rod (the black ones where the shocks are supposed to go), just taper the ends a bit and it will look awsome.

thanks kamikaze! i think thats what i will do.

I'm with Jeff. Revo rodends are the way to go. I put them on every thing. Just need an 8-32 drill and tap.

And yes 3/8" rod will fit over them.;-)

I use 10-24 all thread in my Revo and Jato rod ends. Then sleeve it with 1/4" SS tube. "thumbsup"
