:-x So of course im out of town, 10 1/2 hrs away from my parts and tools. Im in a hotel bed crawling when I decide to show off and crash the mrc. Broke a ball end for the lower link. Thankfully only half the plastic threads broke, and after adjusting the front half out some I can still drive it. Closest shops here are 45 min away and no one has the part, but the place 10 min away from my home has them:cry: Getting my dad to snag them up tomorow, im home on saturday anyways but I want to be ready to repair this truck once I get home to drive on my backyard track.

I never expected to have this truck drop from 3 feet so im fine with that part breaking, but not when im so far away from home or a place that stocks the part. Was wondering for future do any other brands fit.
This is the only thing keeping me sane locked up in this hotel waiting to work at night.
 
If your talking the link that goes into the skid. Then no there are not any others that fit in there quite the same. You could make a dubro or something work but it wont be the same.
 
Yeah no big deal, was able to reuse the part as only half the plastic threads broke, my dad got the new parts from the local shop so on saturday I will be good as new. Will have to remember to take some with me next time I go traveling. Im just glad I could patch it back together without any modification or tools. Never would of thought I could break that part and never driven it on a bed before either:-P
