I use the same method you tried, but I just heat them up a little so they're not so brittle.

The tool that Traxxas sends with the truck kit works fine, just you need to weld a small handle to it so you can hang on to it. But it does the same as the pliers, bends the one tab up so the link snaps in. Does make them easier to soak them in hot water first for short time.

It's very easy with the right tool & the right technique. Download this assembly manual & check out page 8: http://www.traxxas.com/products/elec...t_assy_man.pdf To make it even easier, make a yoke tool out of a screwdriver. It's ALOT easier to work with.
