1.25" rod ends 40.20 for 10 or more.

dont alot of other sites charge alot more for these same things?

Not sure what their prices of the 1.00" ones would be but their price on the 3/4x16 ones are like $10 each.

must be tuesday...

Don't buy that junk. Get Chromoly ends, QA1, FK etc. Search and buy from a PBB vendor!

It's Tuesday early.

You need to do some research.

Don't buy that junk. Get Chromoly ends, QA1, FK etc. Search and buy from a PBB vendor!

Do you have any experience with those particular ends?

If you read the descriptions, it say that less than 1" are chromemolly and larger are alloy steel.

I'm also a little confused by your QA1 reference as I've found those to be much lower quality than FK.

But I do agree with buying from Poly. I own way too many rod ends and tube adapters from them.

Housing: ≤ 1" sizes are chrome moly steel, 1.25" and larger sizes are an alloy steel.

so how are FK ends better?

That chart doesn't say what they are rated for, only dimensions. Find out just how strong they are before dropping dime on them. Like almost everything in the world, there is the expensive version, and the bottom dollar version, most of the time you get what you pay for.

So it says chromo or alloy steel, big fawking deal, tell us what kind of chromo or alloy steel they are. Are they 2 piece, 3 piece, or more in construction, teflon, kevlar, or unlined.

I've had good luck with Aurora and QA-1, tried some cheap rod ends and they were just that, cheap, lasted maybe 1/10th as long as a quality end.

I'm also a little confused by your QA1 reference as I've found those to be much lower PRICED than FK.



Fixed your quote there Mr.Blaine :flipoff2:


Xtreme Crawlers, Independant 4x and several other PBB vendors I forget sell Qa1 ends. FK ends are overpriced.

Let us know what else you can dig up :flipoff2:

Search on FK and QA1. Many opinions are out there, and this has been covered to death. My opinion on rod ends is that you get what you pay for.

Too bad you can't fix the quality of QA1's as easily.
