Make longer upper and lower links. You can do this with alltread combined with brake line tube, or you can also get delerin and make the links from that.

I just made my own links with 8/32" allthread (from lowes), and 1/4" brake line (from NAPA). Add some new rodends (part # 5347 Revo ends) and you have new and improved links. I just did my first set last week and they turned out great.

If you wanted to use the rod ends that you have I think that you use 5/32" allthread then you can fit it to the brake tubing (one step down from 1/4") and make sure that it fits tight.

You modify the Axial and Traxxas yokes so that one will go inside of another. It should be stickied in the Axial section. Poke around a bit, you'll find it.
