Default Ball end links/aluminum tubing

I am trying to extend my wheely king. I bought some 6/32 allthread and I (tried searching a lot) can't find any info on which ball end links fit best.
Everything I came across was for 4-40. Also which aluminum tubing works well.

It's going to suck running the all-thread through solid rod...

1/4" seamless tubing will work, and Dubro ball ends are sized for #6-32 hardware. Revo ends may be too, we just don't use them to know for sure.

I use that from Lowes. Works good except when I drill and tap my holes, they're a bit crooked most of the time. I need a drill press...

Thanks for the replies guys, but is there anything cheaper than the Dubro ends? If not I'm just forgetting the 6-32 and going 4-40 with the Traxxas rod ends #1942.
