Well, if you consider that you can see a typical 1:1 link in the range of 2"-2.5" in diameter...1/4" would be just about right. You could use 3/16" also for a bit smaller scale look which would look more like "medium duty" 1:1 links that are less than 2" in diameter. You're limited with the 1:10 scale sizing depending on what rod end you'll be using. The link will obviously need to be large enough to occupy the thread needed for the rod end and a bit of wall thickness around the thread for strength.

1/4" OD will fit the Traxxas rod ends nicely....which will have a smooth transition from link to rod end.
