Default ball link sizes????

I know that dubro 4-40 heavy duty ball links use 4-40 threaded rod.
Does anybody know what mfg brand and or part number ball links that you
would use for say 8-32 or 6-32 all thread?
I don't have alot of rc trucks and so I can't tell what size the ball links are
when someone talks about a stampede or a tmaxx.
I'm leaning toward 8-32 allthread covered with 3/16 alum. tubing.
I just don't know which ball link will work on this particular size rod.
Thanks DC

I just got some 8/32 threaded rod and it fit the revo rod ends ( part #5347), but I couldn't get them in by twisting them on. So I ended up using a tap first and then they fit right in.

Durbo Monster Duty rod ends are sized for 6-32 threads and can easily be tapped for 8-32. There's plenty of room left so they aren't weakened.

Does anybody know what size allthread would fit the traxxas links that fit the stampede? They come in a kit from tower with 16 long and 4 short .
They are priced right when compared to the dubro.
They are 19.99 for 12 and I'll need 16

Sounds like the ones also used on the MAXX's... They use a 3mm thread which is equivalent to 4/40 I do believe...

you could tap them to a 6/32 if you need to.
