| Link Question
If this needs to be moved I apologize. Ive searched with no luck, so my question is, is there a particlar size or brand thats anyone uses for their ball end when making their links? Ive been usuing Dubro 6-32 but I thought I'd heard of guys using a Traxas end. Im just trying to find something with a little more beef. Ive got a 2 supers, a clod tuber and a clod stick. Any preferences or suggestions would be great. |

Lots of people use the Traxxas 1942 ball end package. You either need to drill out the end for 6-32 threads or jam it on there though. If you need beefy ends, the Dubro Monster-Duty ends are pretty stout. We've never had on break on any chassis/link we've sold to date. They're threaded for 6-32 and can easily accept 8-32 as well. They're 1/8" thick around the head so they don't bend at all. http://www.crawfordperformanceengine...P4&log_pid=yes |

I use the Traxxas 5525 (part number) ball ends. They fit well, with the way I do my links (which I have had a ton of practice with in the past week). I believe it is the way Dirk does his, which is to use 8-32 threaded rod through 1/4" brakeline. I just used an 8-32 tap into the Traxxas ball ends and it fit perfectly onto the rod.
