Default Lower link rod ends

Hi all,

I'm using the stock rawler King rod ends with EEM Delrin lower links. I've damaged a few of the rod ends and was wondering if there is an alternative to the HPI part. The all-plastic construction of the HPI part doesn't seem that strong and you have to buy two different parts trees in order to get the rod end and ball. I used the Revo rod ends for my steering, but they would be shorter than the HPI ones and I'm not sure they are even as big as the HPI ones. Any advice on this? Thanks!

Traxxas is a sure bet. MAXX or REVO ball ends with steel balls. You may have to adjust your link lengths a bit.

Rc4wd has some metal ones might want to look there.

Yeah, I saw those and they look nearly perfect. I see they have the M4 threaded hole for the link I need, but I can't tell what size bolt the ball is machined for. I'm hoping M3, but I can't tell.

They have a pre sale questions area on their forum. You can ask them there.
