VP, Blue Monkey, or make your own.

Make your own. Find some .049 wall aluminum tube, tap it to 4mm or 8/32, use Traxxas Revo or Jato 4mm rod ends.

R2J makes stainless steel links for the SCX10. They hold up better than aluminum but cost less than Ti links.

Just make your own links..buying them is a waste of money. Simply get some threaded rod or allthread and then get some aluminum rods that will slip right over the allthread rod but make sure its a snug fit. Then get some revo rod ends and walla there's a link made. Go on youtube and look at Harley's video about making your own links, he shows three differnt methods and yes the one I named is one of them. I think the proper allthread to use is 8-30..but I kinda forgot so go to a place like lowes and look at the hardware department, they have allthread there and keep in mind with stainless steel rod..the lighter the better!

if you decide to make your own links out of tubing and all-thread, do it RIGHT and use stainless tubing with quality allthread (you can get stainless tubing and stainless allthread from places like mcmaster.com).

most the time i'll make my own links, but i have a couple sets of r2j's links, and imho they are worth the price.

I've used a few sets of these aluminum links with Revo ends, nicely made, no issues and excellent price. Axial SCX10 Custom Made Heavy Duty Aluminum 4 Link Front and Rear Kit | eBay

make your own. not that hard and easy to replace when worn out.
