They're set-up for M3 x .5, but can be drilled out a little for 6-32.

I'd stay away from 4-40, unless your building a VMG or something else small.

I got 6-32, I thot it was best. but other people I found out run 6-32 most the time.
Okay get this
Go to hardware store get 5 feet of 6-32 threading about $3.80, get alum rod from your LHS- mine was .69 Cents a foot plus get traxxas rod ends which are 4-40 and dirll them..

COST: USD
4- threading
4-rod
12- rod ends
Thats about 20 bucks for links..
