Revo or Jato If you need bigger than that, search through McMaster. |

Xtm has a shock end that is a good strong heim, way better that those sloppy rc4wd ones. Or like someone said, use McMaster-Carr. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk |

forget the junk that RC4WD sells, check out the steel ones that rc-channel sells, or go to the really good ones from McMaster-Carr.

looking for 4mm or bigger. I would start looking into 1/8 scale buggies. most of them are put together vary well most of the rod ends they use, are most of the time alot bigger than the revos. I would start their, then go to the other sites to see what you think would work better for ya. kinda show ya what I'm thinking of http://www.thefind.com/buy-aGydPnLN1...=ofna+rod+ends Last edited by spyderwebbcustoms; 05-23-2011 at 09:56 AM. |

I will agree with spyder. 1/8th rod ends can take serious punishment. Try looking for rear upper arm ends. Most of the latest kits use 5mm turnbuckles with 4mm balls. The best plastics are Mugen, Kyosho and Serpent.
