Hey guys,
I need to move my steering link out a little bit from my gearcase on my Bully, so I'm needing some bent rod ends. I have Axial ones, but I want to use 4mm, like the Revo ends. I need them to bend out horizonatally, not vertically. Does Traxxas or anyone makes these in 4mm? I would do aluminum also. If you could give me a link or part number, I would greatly appreciate it!

THE TIE ROD KIT FOR THE CREEPER HAS 45 DEGREE HORIZONTAL ROD ENDS, http://www.rcplanet.com/index/page/s...ullText=8361RE
THESE ARE 3mm BUT ARE VERY STRONG, I HAVE 16 oz. IN EACH FRONT WHEEL AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM .

Thanks, I have axial 3mm ones, and have never broken one of them either, but I'm now pushing 611oz with my servo. I figure I probably should try to go 4mm if I can.

I have crammed 8/32 threaded rod into the axial ones, so you should be able to get 4mm in there. Just use a knife to wallow out the hole a little to start.

I use the Traxxas #1942 rod ends, with 8/32 x 3/4" long set screws.

I've been looking for offset 4mm rod ends for months now to help with clearance on my homemade BTA without any luck.

I'm skeptical that the Axial's have enough wall thickness to hold together with 4mm thread.

I keep telling myself that maybe RPM will step up and make some uber cool rod ends in 3 and 4 mm with high misalignment spacers built into the pivot ball, but I guess I can keep dreaming.
