What rod ends do you use?

[SR5Dave]

I am running cheesy ones from the hobby store, no names.. they've done OK, but they're my only weak point right now..

Where can I get good cheap rod ends with a lot of meat in them? (Enough to drill out the centers for 8-32 and the balls for 6-32)

I have been waiting for some that I found at the hobby store. They are for a GS storm. They are 8.8mm big. the kyosho ones I have seen used are 5.6mm i think. They are a liitle big bit I have the room. They have been on order for two weeks now though.

This is the link to the ends. They dont have a pic of the balls. they dont have a flang on them so I have to modify the ball. I have the ends, and I'm waiting for the balls. I was told this wek. I have been hounding the HS.

So they do come with the balls?

No I had to order the balls and the ends seperetly. Four per pack each. It might add up a little but I havent found anything larger or more durable looking.
