|  Rod ends for threaded rod
Suggestions for rod ends for 4-40 rod and 6-32 rod? I looked through the vendors pages but I did not see rod end specs.

| These rod ends are super sweet. They are much stronger than most. I use a drill bit to remove some of the material to use 4/40 rod. You won't be disappointed!! I promise!! http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKMD6&P=7 |

Dubro Monster-Duty ball ends are some of the best you can buy for 6-32 threaded rod. We offer them in the replacement parts section of our website. General dimensions as follows: 7/8" long to the center mounting eye. Sized for 6-32 thread with body of end slightly larger than 1/4" dia. Rod End is 1/8" thick (and will require conical washers to prevent binding) http://www.crawfordperformanceengine...P4&log_pid=yes Last edited by CPE MT; 12-21-2006 at 07:24 AM. |

I like to use traxxas part # 1942 for my rod ends. They take a 4-40 with no problem or can be taped to take 6-32 and for around $5 for a package of 20 (16 long and 4 short). I get mine from RC boyz off ebay. Quick shipping. |

I used 8/32 threaded rod with Traxxas Jato rod ends. They are tight going on,but they will fit without having to drill the hole in the rod ends out. Then I put steel brake tubing over the threaded rods,cut to the lengths I needed.The brake tubing was a little loose on the threaded rods,so I wrapped each end of the threaded rod with electrical tape until the slack was taken out and it centered the tubing on the threaded rod. |
