yeah, thats my next purchase.

It was just the little plastic end link that stripped.

Threw some loctite at it, see how that works.

You can also use CA for thread locker on plastic.

The part number for the shock ends(also comes with pre-load clips and some other shock related parts) is LOSB1441 should run you around $5.99 at any local or online hobby shop.

Do you have a part number for those alum rod ends from RcBros?

I just used CA glue on mine and the nice part about it is that you can just pull them off with a lil force and re-glue if needed. But after I glued once I have been able to screw them on as normally would.
