|  Tie rod end question
Hey guys, I'm curious about how well the stock tie rod/ drag link joint holds up on your rigs ? I don't have an Ascender, but I've been eyeing up that joint to use on another project vehicle of mine but I wanted to hear some feedback before I spend any coin. TIA !  |

Mine is still stock and tight from September 2015. Not a shelf queen either! Ben |

Mines a first batch kit that has tons of abusive miles on it with a hitec 7950 servo reefing on the linkages. I've worn out the rod ends on the panhard bar and the lower links once in that time. Even the goofy right side rod end with the pivot ball for the drag link has stayed tight somehow. I wouldn't be concerned about repurposing the Vaterra rod ends.
