Default Axial linkage set?

Ok so with my lower links i bought I am going to need to run axial link ends but I dont have anymore.. So I will need 8 total, does that mean I will need to buy 2 linkage sets? Or does one come with everything I need? Looks like it doesnt from the pics everywhere.. Thanks for the help.

Do you mean rod ends? You can buy Traxxas rod ends. You don't have to buy the link kits if you just need rod ends if that's what you are asking.

Yes. But it would be better to drill and tap your lower links to 4mm and use revo ends.

The links constantmotion linked above are the long links in that pack, I don't know the part no right off but there's also packs of the short ones that are better for lowers, the long ones are probably gonna push you past 12.5" and flex more. Your best bet for lowers is the drill and tap the links to 4mm for 5347 ends like oldhippie said, thier alot stronger but you might have to shorten the links also.

2742 is the short T-maxx ends. Are you sure the threads are 4-40? Seems like they would have used 3mm so stock Axial setscrews would work, I searched and couldn't find any info.

pretty sure the lowers I got are 3mm I was looking and it looked like it. I guess I'll find pit when I get them. But 99% sure they are 3mm.. Just the rod ends I have now are the 440 so they won't work.
