If they keep pulling out of the end , just try gluing them back in.

just a thought

I'm still running the stock ends. Just thread them as far as the will go in. I use side cutters to hold the threaded rod to get a couple more turns.

The rods ends are from inetrc, not sure who actually makes them.

Where are you getting them? My LHS told me no one carries Kyosho except Kyosho. Also, what are you using for the actual links?

Were using the Revo end links? Traxxas also makes a smaller version for the T/E Maxx which are not as large or strong.

My LHS just ordered them from Kyosho. Or Ofna makes a similar rod end. For rod material we use 3/8" solid, then drill and tap for a 10/32 all thread

Sweet! 10/32 is pretty decent size! Is that about what comes on the TXT? 4mm I think? I'm a little too rough for 6/32 and 8/32 I've found out.

To tell you the truth, 10/32 isn't metric, it's 3/16" rod.

No, 10/32 isn't metric, but the stock 4mm thread in the links on the TXT are.

I was simply pointing it out, easy now. 10/32 (3/16") is just a hair larger than 4mm, but not by much, it should be 4.7625mm.
