I think i have one up on ya, 10mm rod ends next to traxxas rod ends (real nice):






Check out how the end of the 4mm socket head screw sits inside the ball, sweet! I have some of these in stock but i am missing the aluminum spacers at the end which are needed for the side with the nut. I should have the spacers soon.

Looks cool. We got a bunch of 3/16, 1/4, and 5/16 rod ends at work, but even the 3/16 ones look too big. It would work awesome, but would look weird on my rig.

Dirk, have you ever seen a real rod end?

this are sweet but do they make them smaller. I really don't think I want 1/2" links. 4rnrRick You beat me to it. I was going to do the same thing.

hey, for now i can sell you a set of 20 of those 10mm rod ends for $30. they are not metal, they are plastic, but i think you would have a hard time breaking them. These rod ends use 4mm bolts for both parts (the ball and the end). Also, they need an aluminum spacer to space out the end that the nut goes on for the top link mounts. i don't have any of these spacers right now. but i'm working on it. once i get the aluminum spacers i'll be selling them for about $35 for 20.

Dave, once i get the spacer i'll be adding the ball ends to the store.

The day I machine some wider metal tubes for my clod, is the day I get those ball ends and I will let everyone know how well they hold up

He is a smart guy but his shop sucks unless you want balsa wood and a 200$ ESC for a stock motor.

They are definitly sweet. I might have went that way instead of my 1/4" heims if I woulda known about them. O'well,I know mine won't ever break.

1/2" Links are fine,BOMB proof, I used 1/2" tube for my links and driveshafts. Yes they do add a little weight but it's ALL down low,that's a good thing in my book.
